Tom McCrae Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 While playing golf at Dulwich golf course 2 weeks ago we saw a peregrine flying around , then we were lucky enough to see it make a kill of a pigeon on the 16th fairway. While plucking the feathers of its kill it was mobbed by crows, the peregrine stood its ground for about 5 minutes before flying off leaving the pigeon behind for the crows Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/176042-peregrine-falcon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDmummy Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Saw a Peregrine flying low down my street about a month ago with a starling or some other similar bird in its claws, poor starling squawking as it got carried away.

goldilocks Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Last year we weirdly had no squirrels - one of the neighbours said they'd seen some kind of hawk and maybe that had decimated the squirrel population - could be the same one, although the squirrels are back this year!!
