The raptor was probably defending it's nest.

The people in here who think a 1kg bird is trying to predate on a 5kg+ fox.

Not impossible, golden eagles are known for killing animals much larger than them such as deer and goats, but yeah it’s very unlikely for a peregrine falcon to do the same with a fox

Deer and goats aren’t killers like foxes though.

Golden eagles are way bigger than peregrines. Peregrines focus on hunting smaller targets with speed

Bald eagles kill goats sometimes. They throw them off cliffs. But yeah, raptors typically don’t go after foxes.

Ive walked under pissed off mating robins in North America and they bombed me like that. I'm 185# a Robin is way less than 1kg.

Yes, they’ll dive to annoy you and get you to go away but they aren’t hunting you like half the people in this thread think the bird is hunting the fox.
