Peregrine falcon
I haven't visited the local peregrines since they started nesting, but in good conditions visited them today. Their behaviour indicated that they had chicks, they were flying with food into the presumed nest site (which can only be seen from out to sea). I didn't get much in the way of fly pasts, but this is from the one good one, when I was being closely inspected.

Thanks for looking.

They don't get much better, your position was ideal providing a really unique image. Well seen and secured.

the larger version in particular looks great David, it's nice to see the feather detail. Well taken.
