Canon EOS 1Ds MKII, 600mm f4 IS, 1.4x, G1321, G1548, on board a boat, 40% crop.

Hi All,

These 3 Peregrine chicks are the first to have been reared in Suffolk for 200 years. I had to charter a fishing boat to get anywhere near them (still a good 150m away) and my plan was to get some record shots of their first breeding season for so long in Suffolk. I have images of the young, adults in flight and the adults bringing in food and sitting on the box, all in all one of the best days with my camera I have ever had :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump:

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob
