The Peregrine looks to be an immature female, the flying is more similar to "play" - this isn't hunting for a meal. The falcon chases the gull then the gull turns tables and chases the falcon. Excellent footage of flying skills of both species, thanks for showing.
We stayed in the Masts Holiday Apts from the 15th to the 22nd of July this year (2017)and I saw a peregrine overhead on many occasions. Once walking along the seafront between the footbridge and the Princess Theatre, I watched him?/her? for a good 30 minutes flying above Rock Walk. Anyone know where they usually have their nest?
No it's not. There is a buzzard that hunts from the recreation ground where I spend the summers watching him fly round, but I have seen this peregrine hunting a few times round Corbyn head. The first time I saw her I nearly crashed my car into the bowling green I was so surprised.
