Observation details
Caught a Rock Pigeon in mid-flight! Watched it struggle on the ground for a minute before heading out to film it. When it was about a third of the way through its meal it was scared off by some people walking to their vehicles. It landed in a tree 20-30ft away before returning to the pigeon. About halfway through the meal it was scared away by a Common Raven, who proceeded to rapidly polish off the pigeon’s remains. Overall, the Merlin was quite comfortable in my presence. She allowed me to come within 15-20ft.
