This is a conversation I had with a guy on another website. It's a video chat room so we see each others faces. And we always see his face, shit-faced. We tell him to stop doing a drug known as Kratom to which his best argument is "it's a plant". Then we asked him this.

The word, Kratom...sounds powerful...like Kriptonite!


What is this...Kratom?

Huge crash coming from kitchen, rushed out to see the imprint of a pigeon on the window and said pigeon on grass being pecked at by a kestrel. Mr M tried surreptitiously take pic but no match for kestrel who grabbed the pigeon and flew off over the fence with it. Today, in our back garden - now covered with pigeon feathers. Wow.

I usually find severed pigeon wings or legs from our resident kestrels

Surprised that the kestrel could lift a pigeon.  Certainly take one down and eat there and them, but fly with it?

I have only ever seen them  go off with voles and shrews - their more normal diet, along with insects. IIRC they will go for birds in towns if small mammals are scarce.

Could it have been a sparrowhawk, Essie?

Well Mr M is very hot on identifying birds, and even I can tell the difference between kites, kestrels and sparrowhawks as for some reason 😀we are now getting more and more of all three around here. It was definitely a kestrel, I looked them up, - the pigeon looks quite small in the imprint which we haven't got round to removing yet. It certainly wasn't one of the pigeons the size of turkeys that often sit on our fence. I don't like pigeons much so I'm not sorry.

Hmm, my friend has wood pigeons in her garden that would out weight a kestrel, even a female.

But she also has doves that are only about 1/2 the pigeon's weight at a guess.

I regularly handled both sexes of kestrels when I volunteered at a countryside centre. Plus Harris hawks, goshawks, peregrines and owls up to a six foot wing-span, 3+kg, Europearn Eagle Owl. That one could take lambs if it wanted! Pigeons were quick snacks to that one.
