4. 5. At 07:21:20 the next catch (?) In a row is a white stork. Little did I know that falcons were able to catch such a big bird. I was convinced that it hunted birds the size of a pigeon. The prey brought was already solidified and it is possible that it is a dead individual, although falcons usually hunt live prey in flight ..
So that's a very strange catch for falcons. That a falcon would pick up a corpse?
… The letter was stiff as a board! If a falcon knocked it down in flight (which is the most common way of hunting) or caught it alive on the ground, the corpse would not solidify so quickly. Probably a really dead body, although a rather rare phenomenon .. I watched years ago, the whole nesting of falcons in Most and ninety percent of the prey were pigeons. In this case, most of them were ringed. Well, no doubt from some breeding, of which the breeder was probably not very happy and quite possibly did not even know where his pigeons were disappearing. 😀 Adolescents, swallowed bites and rings on the legs of pigeons and demonstrably did not mind…
The pigeon is also most often prey here, I read in the cottage that the stork had already been here once. Apparently they didn't like it very much, the female with the stork left at 7:30:50.
3.5. ..In 06:58:00 another portion of pigeons in a row. The local quadrupeds grow literally like water and are very balanced in size. It is a pleasure to watch their feeding and successful development .. 🙂
