Falcon is my favourite as well @JoshC , I have had several neat encounters over the years with these top winged predators. One just a couple of days ago, I have a group of swallows that forever fly into my boatshed when the door is lifted, I swear n curse them openly when there's no other ears listening. I had just chased one out with my landing net turned to push the door button n a funny swoosh/twack noise made me turn back to see a falcon pulling up with a swallow safe in its talons. Cool. I feel fortunate to have witnessed these birds hunting.

What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

I had been told years ago about falcons shepparding woodpigeons away from the bush till they were exhausted and easy to catch. Watched it with my own eyes a few years ago.

Cool. Quite often there's a few of them around the airport. About where they're digging it up and putting in the new road. Originally Posted by GWH
