It uses the element of speed and power to incapacitate its prey, but doing this so close to the tower/cliff might expose it to a risk of injury.<br />We have had reports recently of the peregrines popping round the tower to take baby pigeons out of nests, but I doubt it would go for an adult in this way. (But I'm always willing to learn differently)<br />@John B - sorry I didn't follow what you meant about the YouTube videos.

By chance I caught the moment one of the falcons on the pudding cam having a bit of tussle with what turned out to be a pigeon, which it then tucked into. I didn’t catch the beginning of the sequence, so pose the question – did it arrive with the prey, or was it already there? I ask because having looked at the flickr pics, it appears there was a daft pigeon hanging around earlier. Can the Derby team (or anyone else) shed any light?<br />RJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-64672243971469762132009-05-07T20:06:00.000+01:002009-05-07T20:06:00.000+01:00Dad sure does love the 'pud'!Dad sure does love the 'pud'!Fiona Arrowsmithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-71687401394046761202009-05-07T20:02:00.000+01:002009-05-07T20:02:00.000+01:00Surely not more food, this must be the equivalent ...Surely not more food, this must be the equivalent of a 'chocolate button' snack!!Fiona Arrowsmithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-64839444687552356502009-05-07T19:26:00.000+01:002009-05-07T19:26:00.000+01:00Feeding time again.
