Fauna

In Siberia (Tuva), I saw flocks of predating birds, sorts of falcons. They were in large groups.
What sort of bird of prey hunts in groups? Anyone know or knows how I can find out?

I'll have have a good think, but I doubt they were a species of falcon. I'd be more inclined to think of a species of Kite, perhaps a Black Kites they can be found in that area and they are often seen in groups.

Hi,
A species of falcon migrates thru India in flocks.
National Geographic had an article on trapping them a week or so ago!

Thanks guys. The national geographic seems to be on about Amur falcons. I googled a picture, they do not look similar to what I saw in Siberia. Black kites do.
I realise now they may not be hunting in groups, but migrating, thanks!
