I liked the sound effects, especially the afterburners. The only thing missing was the sound of the Stuka siren.
Peregrines can't compete on the flat with pigeons? Maybe those English peregrines can't, but it never stopped Mariah.

Thanks, Annette!
I loved the photography and the sound effects. It's hard to imagine the speed of the peregrine without watching something like this. Still, a 20% strike rate? I'd have thought it to be higher.

You are right ! A breath-taking video, but is that really correct? At he end, the narrator says that "despite their speed, the PeFalcon only has a 20 percent strike rate." So they must be continually in hunt mode especially if they are feeding young ones? I learned something new tonight.

i remember many a time Dan S. used to say Kaver was 0 to 13 for the number of times he went out and missed. This was a pretty awesome video though. They are so awesome regardless of the misses!
