    Male Peregrine in Flight

    Had an hour this morning at the local Peregrine site , not much going on but managed to get the male coming into the nest site to take his turn sitting the eggs. Hopefully by the end of next week they will have hatched so fingers crossed as they have had to contend with some wretched weather so far during incubation.

              I like the second shot a bit better. Well done. I am told that there are Peregrine falcons, Buzzards & Kestrels where I live but I am still to see any of them.
