    Wow such a brave jackdaw. Rescued one many years ago, a most intelligent creature & had the most sapphire blue eyes & a crown.
    Always remember the lovely scent of its feathers. Once recovered it returned to freedom, yet would visit me to say good day time to time. Just got called to the garden by a blackbird in distress, asked him what was up, he screeched & turned his eyes to the ground, there was a sparrow hawk. As soon as our eyes met it flew away. Dear black bird was making such a racket.

    Amazing that it was actually the jackdaw gripping onto the kestrels feet. I'd have expected it to be the other way around, and no doubt the kestrel has much stronger legs and feet but the jackdaw always managed to grip it in the perfect spot, above the claws and just on the "ankle". There was nothing the Kestrel, with its stronger feet, could do about it. It's like a martial arts special hold, haha.
    EDIT once in the hold the Jackdaw also pecked and pecked the kestrels controlled foot and leg. This is a bird of prey's most valuable asset, he knew where to hurt it

      Jackdaws are whip-smart birds, quick thinkers and being Corvid they are in the most intelligent bird family. In a fight you would want to subdue the danger points of your attacker as efficiently as possible. This Jackdaw is doing exactly that. Good Observation, props!

    I have studied Jackdaws just from my garden as there are lots of them.They are without doubt the most intelligent of all birds.I have seen them fight off Sparrow Hawks who don`t give in easily but are outwitted by the Jackdaws.They form a posse when they are threatened and hit the skies like Spitfires to ward off intruders.They nest in my chimney every year and are more than welcome.When the young finally pop out of the chimney they are almost fully grown.When I put food out the gulls swarm around fighting with each other while the Jackdaws just pick up three or more pieces and float off and leave the Gulls to it.Jim.

    At one point in the battle when the Kestrel was on top of the Jackdaw I could tell by his screams that the Kestrels claws dug home and deep into the Jackdaws body. Kestrels have a very strong grip in their feet. So it wasn't all Jackdaw winning. If the Kestrels mate had joined her together they could have prevailed. It looked like he just wanted to mate with her when he flew in briefly.
    Making a couple of more bird boxes would provide extra homes for all the birds that want to use them. Make the diameter of the entrance hole no more than 3" across then larger birds such as the barn owl will not be able to enter.
    I have made several bird boxes for Kestrels and they seemed to love the homes I provided, using them year after year.

    I've been an avid birder, for over 15+yrs now. I can honestly say, this is some INCREDIBLE footage, between these two predators. I commend the Jackdaw, for trying to fight off this persistant Falcon. And for a bit there, it seemed to have the upperhand, most of the "Corvid species" beaks are lethal weapons, as you could see from what it was doing to this little Falcon. However, the Falcon has talons, and thats the stronger upperhand by far. Excellent battle of two top apex predatory birds.......

      Там не совсем понятно , кто именно из семейства соколиных, пытается напасть. Ведь питаются они крупными насекомыми, полевыми мышами, мелкими певчими птицами. Соколиным не по зубам такая крупная птичка, а вот ястребиным же наоборот.
      Видимо тут борьба за дом, сокол пытается отжать у галки дом. Ведь соколиные очень любят занимать гнёзда других птиц. Или наоборот))) галка отжала дом у пустельги )))

When we're about the same size and you can't just muscle your way in here and eat me! You're not used to that are YOU!? I can do a lot of damage to you too you know!!"
