Hi phillip
Excellent compostion and use of PS,I think i would clone out the twigs on the bottm left-Great stuff :toast:

That is just great Phillip. Agree on Dave's cloning suggestion.

I think the rightmost image on the rock is a real winner and would stand alone well. :toast:

Did the 4th image show it falling off the cliff backwards?

Really like this Phillip. Agree abou the rhs bird/image warranting a stand alone picture - would be well worth a crop if you have any leeway

Hi Philip,
You certainly encounter an exciting selection of species on your outings :cool:

I like the idea behind the image and a most impressive flight sequence it is too.

yep, great idea and well executed - i too particularly like the rhs bird, and can't think of any nits apart from the twigs,

Is this another local bird? No Wart on this? Very neat great action with loads of detail.

Great sequence, Phillip - I like everything about it!

Hi all thank you for your comments, all three images can be stand-alone i have done the right hand one cloning the twigs out as suggested, it is a resident bird and the female was constantly calling to the male from a ledge where she nested last year, there was also little owl and Raven which is what it was swooping down at behind the large rock, the Raven also nested in the same place last year and again has started this year.

Now this is an awesome shot of a wild Peregrine.

The experience must have been brilliant
