Peregrine falcon
One from this morning, I managed to have the abandoned quarry all to myself this morning, and managed to get quite a few nice images as the sun came up over the edge of the quarry lighting the quarry face up even the ravens looks nice in the light.

Hi Phil,

Really really like this!! Lovely sense of movement, but the Peregrine is sharp. Been watching my local pair (only ones in Suffolk) female is now sitting :jump: . Wish we had quarries in Suffolk, make much better back drops than a bridge !!

Regards

Rob

Really like this with the bird`s habitat so well shown, and their speed as well. Good job.

Nice... curious as to what a slower S/S would produce... bet you have to follow through the panning of that lens :biggrin: ...
