Absolutely stunning shots! I know how difficult it is to film or photograph a peregrine falcon - we have a pair of peregrine falcons at our Hohen Dom in our hometown of Paderborn, Germany. So I want to tell you how beautiful and breathtaking your footage is - absolutely beautiful and equally interesting. I didn't know until now that peregrine falcons can also celebrate hunting successes in level flight. I only know of "our" peregrine falcons when they swoop down - that is, when they hit their prey down from the sky. A really wonderful post - thank you very much!

Hi Louis - which falcons have you hunted with? Ever flown F. chicquera? I’m from India, not a practicing falconer, but falcon lover nonetheless. Some days back saw a black shaheen strike and capture a pigeon in one instant, though the pigeon managed to struggle free after a few seconds. Breathtaking video!

No I do not know F. chicquera, but we have African Hobby, European Hobby as Summer visitor, and our Small but very agressive Red Necked falcon is a jewel, butr extremely hard to trai. We have many Saparrow hawks and Goshawks, but after one Goshawk I had enough , Thanks. Happy New Year in India👍

@@louisvanrheede751 Happy New Year Louis. F. Chicquera is the scientific name for the red-necked falcon, we have it in India too. About an year back I saw a pair hunting a swallow, both taking turns stooping at it, sending it crashing in a mustard field (it escaped). I have seen lots of peregrine hunts, and some laggar (very similar to the lanner) hunts as well, but nothing is as exciting and spectacular as a red necked falcon’s hunt - and they are very aggressive and full of personality, chasing away all raptors in their vicinity. I have seen a pair chasing a red-naped shaheen, 3 arrows one behind the other, twisting and turning at phenomenal speed. The black shaheen is the resident Indian peregrine, we also have the migratory red-naped shaheen here, along with the Siberian peregrine.

Great video! I also film my peregrines when they hunt, but I have to say that with that kind of zoom I will probably lose the birds from the frame, and also the camera that I use has auto-focus that is not perfect so the video is often blurred. I like the slow-motion, but for me the true thrill is to also see the whole hunting sequence in normal speed, because only then we can see how fast these birds are. From your experience filming and watching peregrines hunting, is there any bird that can match the speed of the peregrine falcon in the level flight?!

@@remyogun8270 since I'm in the business of falcon racing, I can tell you if the Prairie falcon was faster than Peregrine in level flight, Arabs would be all over it! There is general consensus that the Gyrfalcon is probably the fastest falcon in level flight, but in reality, one of the most demanding prey species Arabs are hunting is little bustard (Tetrax tetrax), and the only falcons that can outfly it are, Calidus peregrines, and gyr x peregrines hybrids. There are rare exceptions of some top gyrfalcons that can catch them, but the preferred bird of choice is Calidus peregrine, not Gyr, Prairie or Peales. Little bustard has incredible acceleration and climb rate, and can fly for miles at top speed, and obviously only peregrine, out of pure falcon species can catch it on regular basis from the fist.

@remyogun8270

@@Semendrija123 That might have something to do with the difficulty in training the Prairie falcon, and not because of its actual speed.
