Peregrine Falcon flies in Preys on Tundra Swan full video grabs clips (1 Viewer)

I see no swan there! Something just slightly larger than the Peregrine, with off-white body, and long, slender, dark blackish-brown wings, you can see easily as it lifts the prey at 16:36 to 16:40. My bets would be an immature Herring Gull, or other similar medium-large immature gull.
 
no swan and the falcon killing the goose was staged video, they paused it to help the falcon otherwise the goose would have killed it many times large Anatidae are out of hawk falcon range unless they are at some serious disadvantage.
