Peregrine Falcon and Eastern Barn Owl

Probably the most dramatic bird interaction I have seen. Today at Redcliffe Jetty there was a huge commotion (not the greatest photos as it was seen from a distance) – a Peregrine Falcon had grabbed an Eastern Barn Owl by the wing and there was a tussle between the two birds before the owl took off out of view. The falcon stirred more chaos among the feral pigeons, attempted a few dives and took off as well. Not something you see every day!
