PHUKET: -- Phuket officials are warning people to be aware of a falcon after it attacked four local residents in Kamala this morning (Dec 13).

 

Local officials were notified this morning by a local Line group which had posted a warning to local residents warning them of a falcon which the group said had attacked villagers near the Bang Wan waterfall in Kamala.

 

Two people had suffered lacerations to their heads which required five stitches while two others had suffered only minor injuries.

Deputy Chief of the Kamala Administration Office (OrBorTor), Mr Saeree Lapmak, said that it is possible that the falcon had escaped from captivity and that it may have attacked villagers prior to today’s incident.

Escaped jailbird goes on rampage would be a good headline.

Well, for some UK tabloids.

PN says its a Falcon, PG says its a eagle.

Who will come out and say its a dragon?

Looks like a White-bellied Sea Eagle.  I very large bird.  Could be defending a nest? Birds don't randomly attack people for no reason.

Maybe it has a nest near by and is just being protective.

A falcon attacking a person, the best of the year, or maybe a revenge.

Yes, this is a sea eagle and not a falcon. Falcons are much smaller. It was probably  protecting a nearby nest. We have a pair nesting on a big jungle tree about half a mile from our house. They are beautiful birds and very large.
