This type of hunting, coordination of a bird of prey with hunting dogs is just phenomenal. Thank you for sharing this video and enlightening me to a subject matter I was unaware of.
@Ratlins9 thanks and glad to hear. It's history dates over 4,000 years but due to the high degree if time and commitment required, there are relatively few practitioners
Hello James, yes it does go down so quickly and i would love to be able to have the video editing skills to slo motion the bind but than good ness for replay. ;o) Glad you enjoyed it
As a viewer of the video, you click on "Settings" which is the little wheel at the bottom right and then select "Playback Speed". That's what I did to even see the Falcon, he was so fast.
Yes Mark, while viewing any video, you can always slow down viewing speed. I don't know anything about loading or editing videos. I just watch them. : )
Wow incredible kill and at such unbelievable speed, perergrines really are the pinnacle of speed, exquisite flying ability and beauty in the bird world.
Your Falcon gave you a Show--- Standing on top of a Holy Mtn the local Peregrine was floating and watching me---WHY---Her Fledgling was using me as Target Practice.. For all of a sudden I heard a Flutter on MY Right and KNEW her Youngster had Just PRACTICED on ME and I immediately held up my arm to the MOMMY with a Peace Sign not for Peace but for letting HER KNOW I was the Number Two Predator that day #2 on the Food Chain She was the Victor
I had a redtail years ago Sophia, she saw a bunny between her and I she started coming for the bunny and the rabbit jumped into my hands I heard the bells and dropped the bunny on top of my boots and that's where the bunny took the last gasp lol
Yes they have several names depending from where in the world you live. In the UK they're referred to as English partridge to difference them from the French "red legged" partridges, also called Grey partridge. In Europe they are called Hungarian partridge as they are thought to originate from the great Hungarian plains. In Canada where they were first introduced in 1907 in southern Alberta, they are referred to as Hungarian partridge or simply "huns". 🙂
@aDam-b4c1m 😊 Yes, it's cool, but you're only seeing the end result of many years of experience. Depending on where you live, there may be a local falconry club you can visit to learn more information 👍
@royc2390 yes we were approaching from upwind to direct the flush away from thr bush which was the obvious source of shelter. If you watch the video again, you will note I repeatedly called them in towards me as I sensed they'd run into the covey before I marked the falcons exact position. As a result, they were upwind of where the covey had now run to seek deeper cover on the edge. The unintended consequence was the falcon followed the dogs and was technically downwind by the time I luckily re-located the huns. Initially they flushed to go upwind but then turned crosswind and the falcon was high and wide. That's why they felt safe and hence they got some air under them. Like many flights, they dont always go as planned ... butd nice when they end how we want 😊
@anthonyburke5656 Yes, i remove all en embrances, and i don't use bells either, firstly their useless at long-wing distances, and Secondly at -20c or colder they're a potential hazard resting against a birds skin.
Spectacular,, Mark!,, beautiful to see!.
nicely done.
Greetings from wildlife photographer Joop Sack from the Netherlands.😀👍👍👍👍

Well raised, well trained animals who know their mission in life. Such a pleasure to watch.
Thank you so much for sharing. 👍🏼
Thanks Ron for the kind feedback
Amazing. Lucky man to be out there w/ dogs and falcon.
@@davidc.9933 thanks
Had to watch it three times it was so fast. Incredible day. Have wanted to do this all my life. Have loved Peregrines since I was a child.

@@markwilliams-falcnr you can always slow down viewing speed on youtube. very helpful for this one. Thanks again!
@ i'll have to investigate this. Is it during loading the video in You Tube and not in editing ?

As a kid I once saw a falcon take a robin out of the tree in our back yard. It happened so fast I was lucky to see it.
A rare sighting but happens every day around bird feeders but most folks don't see it..
that was fricken stellar
thanks ! ... glad you enjoyed it

@aDam-b4c1m good luck 👍
Dogs ran right past the covey.

@@markwilliams-falcnr Thanks for that breakdown. I better understand now.

Do you fly your bird without Jesses? I couldn’t see any.
@anthonyburke5656 Yes, i remove all en embrances, and i don't use bells either, firstly their useless at long-wing distances, and Secondly at -20c or colder they're a potential hazard resting against a birds skin.
I guess he would prefer to be flying free & wild ... jail farage & boris
well David he's certainly flying free and in the wild and has the choice
