New Peregrine image..

I had a brilliant close encounter with a female Peregrine Falcon a week or two back, managed a few shots, and here's one of the better ones for anyone who is interested :)

  • WOW!!!!!!! That's a fabulous image Jimbob. Thanks for sharing it.

    The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.

    The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!

  • Hi jimbob,

    That is a lovely photo you are fortunate to get such a good shot of it.

  • Thanks Squirrel, Little owl, I know just how lucky I was!! funnily enough for a relatively common bird in my parts, this was the first I've seen in quite some time, and certainly the first I have manged to photograph succesfully.

    I went home smiling that day:)

  • That is a fantastic shot shows his flying skill to perfection

  • Wow!  That is absolutely brilliant!

    There is something new to learn everyday...

  • That is an excellent photograph, I can well understand you going home happy. Thank you.

  • A truly awesome picture of such an amazing bird of prey, just love the glint in the eye!

  • An absolutely cracking shot!! Seems he has his eye on you too! I've only ever seen them high up in quarries!!

  • What a wonderful shot, Jimbob. Such clear and sharp detail too. I love to see photos of birds in flight but they are so difficult to get as I know only too well.

    I seem to remember you posted an equally good shot of a golden eagle a few weeks ago. Is he still visiting you? Keep up the good work.

  • Hi JimBob

    what a great shot!

    Hey farmer, farmer, put away the D.D.T now. Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees, please!
