“…The Eurasian Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a representative of this order in Hong Kong that regularly feeds on small lizards (Steen et al 2011), and is therefore likely to prey upon juvenile and hatchling Green Iguanas. A second falcon in Hong Kong, the Peregrine Falcon (F. peregrinus) has been known to prey upon small lizards but is primarily an avian specialist (Ellis et al 2002). Two other species of falcon also occur in Hong Kong, the Amur Falcon (F. amurensis) and the Eurasian Hobby (F. subbuteo); however, the former is primarily insectivorous (Pietersen and Symes 2010), and the latter feeds primarily on mammals, birds and invertebrates (Zawadzka and Zawadzki 2001).…”

Biological control is the management of non-native species through the use of their natural enemies. The Green Iguana (Iguana iguana), a large lizard of the Neotropics, has established populations in extralimital countries. There has been an increasing recent pattern of reports of free-living Green Iguanas in Hong Kong, which was the trigger of this desktop assessment of native Hong Kong fauna that may prey upon escaped or released iguanas. A literature review found documented predators of Green Iguanas from 12 vertebrate orders. There were two mammalian orders (Carnivora, Primates), eight avian orders (Cuculiformes, Pelecaniformes, Accipitriformes, Cathartiformes, Falconiformes, Strigiformes, Piciformes, Passeriformes), and two reptilian orders (Squamata, Crocodylia), which are all presently represented in Hong Kong with the exception of the orders Cathartiformes and Crocodylia. Based on knowledge of other taxa documented to prey upon lizards represented in Hong Kong, we suggested additional prospective predators of Green Iguanas from one further mammalian order (Artiodactyla) and one further avian order (Ciconiiformes). Since avian species generally have a greater representation in settled areas, along with stray domestic dogs and cats, we expect these species to be the potential predators most likely to take iguanas when they are first released or escaped.

“…En Sudamérica se encuentran tres subespecies, de las cuales Falco peregrinus cassini es residente (De Lucca 2014, Salvador et al 2017. A pesar de que en Argentina la especie se distribuye ampliamente en todo el territorio nacional (Narosky & Yzurieta 2003), las descripciones sobre sus hábitos tróficos y comportamiento resultan escasas en el país (Vasina 1975;Vasina & Straneck 1984;Ellis et al 2002;Bó et al 2007;Santillán et al 2010;De Lucca 2014;De Lucca 2016).…”

“…Esta especie consume principalmente aves (Ellis et al 2002;Bó et al 2007;Santillán et al 2010;García et al 2014), y en menor medida mamíferos y artrópodos (Santillán et al 2010). Sin embargo, existen sesgos en el estudio de la dieta del Halcón Peregrino derivados del hecho de que la mayoría de las investigaciones son incapaces de determinar todos los ítems presa.…”

El Halcón Peregrino (Falco peregrinus) es un ave rapaz cosmopolita perteneciente al orden Falconiforme cuya ecología y dieta, relativamente bien conocidas, provienen de estudios realizados en la región neártica. Si bien se ha asociado a miembros de la familia Apodidae como parte de la dieta del Halcón Peregrino en otros países, en Argentina aún no existen registros que confirmen dicha interacción. El 22 de marzo de 2018, se observó un ejemplar de Halcón Peregrino capturando un individuo de Vencejo Blanco (Aeronautes andecolus) en la Reserva Privada Cerro Blanco, Córdoba, Argentina. Este reporte constituye el primer registro de depredación del Halcón Peregrino sobre el Vencejo Blanco para Córdoba y el país, abriendo nuevos interrogantes respecto a dicha interacción trófica y su efecto en la dinámica poblacional de ambas especies.
