Media notes
Audio extracted from MP4 video. Video clearly shows the falcon singing. There were two juveniles perched close to each other on a seaside cliff, making what I guess are "begging" calls.
Observation details
We are confident there were at least this many. At about 14:00 the falcons lifted up in a large kettle like formation. We had fifteen in sight at the same time during this period, and there were probably several more in the area. The group was mostly juveniles, a few adults, and at least one dark morph. Photos and audio to be added soon. One falcon landed nearby at 13:15 with a recently caught robin. It plucked it until 13:23 and then ate it until 13:31.
