    Hi all, anyone who's interested, check out Channel 280 Sky TV at 9pm today, as it has a programme called 'shadow of the peregrine'.

    Fantastic birds, we just set one free again around Port Laoise last Sunday (it was with me for 'repair' after being shot last October).

    Official speed = double what you say! Add Appollo 29, Jenson Buttons motor and some laxative and some may just catch up with one of these great hunters.

    I think our 'Lass' was shot on the rebound of a 'smack' when she had stunned some prey. I managed to pick out 3 of the 4 pellets and get her back to the wild. She even had an old snare wound, tough or what!

    there is a ignorant attitude to raptors among some .

    Two years ago I shot a red leg partridge that came curling over a hedge. The bird was quite high up and dead in the air. :cool: Just as it was falling to ground a male peregrine stooped out of nowhere and hit the bird smacking it into the ground. It flew away when it saw me go to lift the bird, well I killed it first!
    Incredible sight, fantastic birds.

    Now that would have been a sight to see.

    We have the Golden eagles here, have seen them a many times but never close to to see them in action. At the Glenveagh Visitor Centre, they have a section on the Golden Eagle and one of the videos shows the eagle hovering, just above a fox and the fox jumping at the it. They should have kept it rolling to show what happens next....
