A record shot
Oh if only I hadn't been full frame that day, this is a huge crop, but I like the action, I shall try again some day.

Hi Tim,

My words on seeing this were holy **** !!!! This is a stunning record shot! Having been concentrating on my local Peregrines for the last 2 months, I know how fast this sort of action takes place. There are two shots I want to get and so far they have taken place well out of camera range, that's Peregrine in full stoop and moment of impact :rolleyes: Thank god for the delete button on digital camera's thats all I'll say !!

I really hope you get to see this magnificent Falcon hunting again and get an image of it :jump:

Well done, Tim

Regards

Rob

Wow nice shot Tim, i bet they were moving pretty rapid?

It's amazing to watch these birds in action, I had a good long morning of seeing them do their stuff. They're effortlessly fast, sad to say I didn't witness a kill, I have been back but it seems they're just picking up chicks to feed their own at the moment.
Glad you enjoyed the pic.

Cheers

Tim
One of a series for sure.

Like most photographers I love to watch raptors in action. This one is very much "in action". Well captured. :toast:

You're just bloomin' showing off now Munsey - record shot indeed :wink: :eek: :cool: :cool:

Stellar capture - as you say, pity about it not being a full framer :frown: I feel your pain - NOT!!

Your effigy is joining that of Mr.Coles on my little vodoo altar :wink:
