[QUOTE="wolfbirder, post: 1735729, member: 28091"] I recall a large female peregrine getting too close to one of the Riggindale / Haweswater Goldies and paying the ultimate price for it. There is a similar discussion under "Seawatch" session on this site, "Arctic Skua/peregrine" post. Just what bird can take what? Well Goshawks take Buzzards, and infact Buzzards can take Goshawks too. Its all about stooping and surprise. This especially applies to falcons that may be far less able once on the ground than they are in a stoop dive. Most of us UK birders will regularly see Buzzards being mobbed by carrion crows, they look fairly stressed out and alarmed to me, i have yet to see them turn the tables but i don't doubt they are capable. Great series of photos. [/QUOTE]
