Really like this, pity the rooks tail was clipped though.
Was this a private trip or a UKNP 'event'?

Chris,
Hopefully the mods will allow me to post this, but if you are interested in a day at this venue drop me an e-mail.
I hasten to add that I was not involved in the private shoot that the various images posted on here have come from but do work with the birds and people there on a very regular basis indeed.

Hi Stuart,
Lovely shot, showing interesting behaviour. Not sure if you are aware but the male Peregrine is at Felixstowe dock on almost a daily basis. If you go to the dock viewing car park and look up at the first dock "A" frame you will see the white wash where he perches, early mornings are best, I'm still waiting to catch him hunting
Regards
Rob
