    Would these be Peregrine Falcons?

    4 of them over the house earlier. Very distinctive screeching sound.

    Harris's Hawk would be the only bird of prey in Ireland that would commonly hunt in groups, though they are more common in falconry than the wild.

    Not a buzzard call anyway. Have plenty of them around here and they sound like a cat.

    Peregrines . Yes.

    Used to see and hear them around Rathdrum, Wicklow.

    Peregrin screech. Probably parents and fledglings out together. Nice

    Was listening to them around 10am this morning over a glen. Assumed Peregrin, but I'm no expert. Enjoyed listening to them.
