Marta, I have no idea, to be honest, but I was told, that in summer a lot of different birds interact with the stallions here, but normally not bird of prey.

Such an interesting inter-species interaction..I wonder if they are buddies and they hang with each other more than just this time :-)

Now, that's an interesting fellow. Hope someone can help you with the ID! Chile is totally out of my area :D
