Title: Falcon!
Post by: Plawranc on October 23, 2010, 12:52:48 AM

I was playing ACES HIGH (talk about irony) and had alt tabbed on a long flight, when a ghostly figure sweeps past my window not 10 inches away

I see a falcon take out a magpie and so I grabbed my camera and got a good film of him.

Apologies, but in some places there is foul language as I was in shock and impressed, and with Australians it means CERTAINTY for foul language.

Did he end up eating it or was he just sending a message?

That is a Falcon.  Not sure what species it is but not a kestrel.  Good film too.

Not a falcon, but very cool regardless!  It's an accipiter.

I'm not familiar with Australian birds, but I'd go with an immature Collared Sparrowhawk or immature Brown Goshawk, depending on the size (I can't tell how big it is from the video).
