The Folklore of Birds of Prey: Companions and Competition
Manage episode 433453238 series 3340847
Birds of prey have an interesting relationship to humans, having been both competing predators and avian companions for leisure pursuits. They've provided omens through the practice of augury, or divination by flight pattern. They appear in heraldic badges or become associated with deities in mythology.
But they also have links with ordinary people who shared the landscape with these fascinating hunters. Who wouldn't be stunned by the speed of an osprey as it accelerates towards a lake, pulling free of the water with a huge fish in its talons? Or marvel at the flight prowess of a kestrel, hovering in mid-air even in the face of a gale?
Let's find out more about the folklore of red kites, falcons, hawks, buzzards, ospreys, and shrikes in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
