Yes Davie, seen them got to ground if they can't find any cover of trees to go into,but only if they are near the ground at the time that they see the Peregrine.

must be a natural instinct i suppose.when i had the rollers they used to climb higher and stay above the falcon.ive seen starlings and other small birds follow behind the hawks too.its much better when the crows are nesting because they pester them until they fly off.their is about 10 pairs of crows nesting in a park not too far from where i live but ive also seen the crows attacking yb's on the house roof.
