Absolutely stunning shots! I know how difficult it is to film or photograph a peregrine falcon - we have a pair of peregrine falcons at our Hohen Dom in our hometown of Paderborn, Germany. So I want to tell you how beautiful and breathtaking your footage is - absolutely beautiful and equally interesting. I didn't know until now that peregrine falcons can also celebrate hunting successes in level flight. I only know of "our" peregrine falcons when they swoop down - that is, when they hit their prey down from the sky. A really wonderful post - thank you very much!
Trully amazing footage. To be able to follow a peregrine at full speed... that is quite impressive. Please keep posting scenes like this. Greetings from the Galapagos islands, where Peregrines are migratory and quite rare to see.
Poetry in motion. I have been to Japan 4 times. I wish I could retire to Japan. I have been a Falconer for many years in Botswana, and all along I felt that it was me being trained. Your Video Camera expertise is equally fantastic, as I am a Nikon still photographer too and I know the work that has gone into your video. I now live in Knysna, beautiful South Africa and we have a pair of Peregrines nesting in the Heads at Sea edge, catching Sea Birds daily. Thank you. "Arigato gozaimasu, Sensei!"
Hi Louis - which falcons have you hunted with? Ever flown F. chicquera? I’m from India, not a practicing falconer, but falcon lover nonetheless. Some days back saw a black shaheen strike and capture a pigeon in one instant, though the pigeon managed to struggle free after a few seconds. Breathtaking video!
@@ThorDelhi Hi, you could say the African Lanner I hunted with is a true desert Falcon as it preys mostly on Namaqua Sandgrouse etc. It is a big bird, slightly smaller than Peregrine, but a keen hunter of birds. No I do not know F. chicquera, but we have African Hobby, European Hobby as Summer visitor, and our Small but very agressive Red Necked falcon is a jewel, butr extremely hard to trai. We have many Saparrow hawks and Goshawks, but after one Goshawk I had enough , Thanks. Happy New Year in India👍
@@louisvanrheede751 Happy New Year Louis. F. Chicquera is the scientific name for the red-necked falcon, we have it in India too. About an year back I saw a pair hunting a swallow, both taking turns stooping at it, sending it crashing in a mustard field (it escaped). I have seen lots of peregrine hunts, and some laggar (very similar to the lanner) hunts as well, but nothing is as exciting and spectacular as a red necked falcon’s hunt - and they are very aggressive and full of personality, chasing away all raptors in their vicinity. I have seen a pair chasing a red-naped shaheen, 3 arrows one behind the other, twisting and turning at phenomenal speed. The black shaheen is the resident Indian peregrine, we also have the migratory red-naped shaheen here, along with the Siberian peregrine.
Great video! I also film my peregrines when they hunt, but I have to say that with that kind of zoom I will probably lose the birds from the frame, and also the camera that I use has auto-focus that is not perfect so the video is often blurred. I like the slow-motion, but for me the true thrill is to also see the whole hunting sequence in normal speed, because only then we can see how fast these birds are. From your experience filming and watching peregrines hunting, is there any bird that can match the speed of the peregrine falcon in the level flight?!
@@otk3244 Interesting, from my experience swift is slower in horizontal flight. Even my falconry peregrines are faster, and they are slower than wild peregrines. My first falcon was Hobby falcon, and they also don't have problems overtaking swifts in level flight even though they are slower than peregrines.
@@Semendrija123 Gyrfalcons and Prairie Falcons are faster than Peregrines in level flight. The fastest specie of Peregrine in level flight is the Peale's, which has a similar body plan to the Gyrfalcon.
@@remyogun8270 since I'm in the business of falcon racing, I can tell you if the Prairie falcon was faster than Peregrine in level flight, Arabs would be all over it! There is general consensus that the Gyrfalcon is probably the fastest falcon in level flight, but in reality, one of the most demanding prey species Arabs are hunting is little bustard (Tetrax tetrax), and the only falcons that can outfly it are, Calidus peregrines, and gyr x peregrines hybrids. There are rare exceptions of some top gyrfalcons that can catch them, but the preferred bird of choice is Calidus peregrine, not Gyr, Prairie or Peales. Little bustard has incredible acceleration and climb rate, and can fly for miles at top speed, and obviously only peregrine, out of pure falcon species can catch it on regular basis from the fist.
@@Semendrija123 That might have something to do with the difficulty in training the Prairie falcon, and not because of its actual speed. From my understanding, the peregrines are the most manageable and easily trained of the species that we have been discussing. The Peale’s is a sub species of Peregrine
A young peregrine falcon in nature. He is believed to be between 6 months and 2 years old. Multiple falcon individuals are appearing. I also find it strange that green pigeons drink seawater.
Por mi casa me toco ver uno cazando aves igual y tres de ellos se juntaron para confundirlo, lo toreaban y cuando el los tenia cerca las aves lo esquivaban, luego se le ponian enfrete de el y no sabia a quien cazar, termino sin comida y cazando palomas.
I find it interesting that the peregrine kills its prey in flight, with both beak and talons. Contrast that to a sparrow hawk that has to fight with its prey while on the ground, and only uses its talons to hold the prey
Thank you for your comment. Peregrine falcons often bite the scruff of their prey to kill it before eating it. Goshawks eat their prey while they are still alive, which makes them feel cruel. Well, both are bad for their prey...
excellent shots, I can see that it is his favorite place for hunting, he came quite often, are those turtledoves or wild pigeons? greetings from Croatia🙋♂️👏❤️
Thank you for your comment. The peregrine falcon's prey is the green pigeon. Green leaves have a habit of coming from the mountains to the coast in the summer to drink seawater.

Which place is this.. I wants to have peregrine falcon... This is my 1 of biggest dream..
This is the coast of eastern Japan. Thank you for your comment.
Most attacks the falcon made contact and had feathers in its claws.
Thank you for your comment.
great video, what focal length are you using?
I often use a focal length of 400mm to 600mm.
Thank you.
Thank you for your response 🙏
which lens did you use? and what is the focal lenth?
The lens I use is [FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS]. As for the focal length, I often use 400mm-600mm.
Is this northern Japan?
No, it is in the Kanto region of Japan.
