I like watching peregrines working, especially wild ones.

 

I can remember the first time out on my current permission, dropped a rabbit about 40 yards away with a mates AA s410 FAC, got up off my knee to see a buzzard land next to it, pick at it, then fly off with it lol

I got a pair of sparrow hawks following me now Im convinced, they hang around until I tag a bird then they will chase it down, like a mother teaching its young on easy picking.

 

It knows now not to pick up my plastic decoys as they have tried enough times.

Your decoy pattern must be good to fol a peregrine so your doing something right
