Nice filming but a bit unrealistic of a peregrine kill. The films shows how important it is that the baby peregrines eat or they will starve. No mention though of the orphaned pigeon babies that will starve without its mother. Just saying.
@mcdomik I too see peregrines killing every day and have never seen a wild peregrine dive from more than 50 to 75 feet above the victims. It happens in the blink of an eye, its that fast but most often its a tail chase that catches its victim. I've only watched trained falcons dive from extreme heights.
"Dives typically executed at angles of 30 - 60o and from altitudes of 215 - 320 m; but speeds near terminal velocity require >1,000-m drop. Some stoops may be initiated at distances of >1,500 m from intended target and involve altitude losses of 450-1,080 m." -- Birds of North America

Special effects were added, but this is exactly how Peregrines kill. To my fortune, I've witnessed it a few times in the wild.
