Wheatear Spitlers Edge 28 Sept

Post by Carol »

Saw a couple of wheatear whilst walking along Spitlers Edge.

Also quite an aerial mobbing and mobbing-back between a couple of ravens and a couple of raptors. I assumed they would be kestrel but they appeared to be almost the same size as the ravens and were really giving the ravens as much as they gave - swooping and climbing and each trying to gain the higher air then swooping onto the backs of the opponents - very exciting.

Carol,

There has to be a good chance they were Peregrines if they were battling with Ravens.
