Perfect predator?

One evening this week, my partner and I went to see the Peregrine falcon pair, brooding 2 chicks at Malham Cove.

The malhamdale.com website has been keeping a diary and the RSPB has established a view point there as part of their "Aren't Birds Brilliant!" programme. Details here.

The Cove itself is a magnificent place to visit. An entirely appropriate spot to see this superb bird of prey. The birds were seen and heard calling in the sunlit part on the right wing of the Cove.

I considered myself fortunate to have got this shot of one of the adults. It was taken from the position shown in the image of the Cove, above.


Those familiar with my Osprey shot of April 2006 will appreciate the significant improvement this image represents!
