Oops, what I thought was a chick turned out to be Mrs Peregrine . Lovely shot, unless you've been there its hard to appreciate how far away from them you are, this is where the D2X resolution really comes into play.
Amazing detail.
Glad to see you're not too bothered about licences either. If this is at Malham, they used to get climbers (speaking from first hand experience here) and walkers within tens of metres of the nest each year without any problem, but when a lens is pointed at them from much further away, even from a public footpath, people can get stroppy! The BMC and climbers are much happier to cooperate with climbing restriction these days I know, but peregrines at malham used to be quite tolerant of stick men in bright red lycra.
Hi David no it's not at Malham taken locally there is a car park which you park in walkabout 25 m to the viewing point set your tripod up and away you go, the image doesn't really show how far away you really are (50-75metres) even with my 800 a 1.4 and in high-speed crop mode on the d2x it isn't much bigger than the central focusing bracket the image above is probably only 25% of the frame.

Here is the full frame you can just see them right in the centre.

Very nice family scene - I think this shot would work better on a bright overcast day!
