So this is a first for me! Not what you've come to expect on my bird feeders.. me neither! I heard the fracas in the back yard and walked out just in time to see the Peregrine Falcon bag his dinner which he dropped when he saw me, as you can see from the glare below he wasn't well pleased to be disturbed but I managed to fire off half a dozen shots before he, living up to his reputation as the fastest predator in the world, swooped down and away, I didn't even see him pick up his prey.. but he did! It was quite an amazing experience.. I think I prefer my galahs, lorikeets and doves, but wow! Happy Sunday, take care... p.s. I should have mentioned, his prey was a not so lucky dove..
Fantastic photo of falcons ... well done ... :)
ReplyDeleteWow - James will be most impressed! xx
ReplyDeleteWell that was an unexpected visitor with bad behavior. The photos are excellent, Grace!
ReplyDeleteHe looks scary! Amazing that you got such good photos of him.
ReplyDeleteI got goosebumps, Grace... he´s got "cold" eyes, kinda, no?
ReplyDeleteeven though I like falcons and hawks, it's interesting to me that my initial reaction was one of distress at the plight of the dove...forgetting that humans are the epitome of meat eaters!!
ReplyDeletethe photos are excellent, he was definitely keeping an eye on you and his prey.
GREAT image. Those eyes! Poor dove.

ReplyDeleteGreat photos, catching the strong expression of the falcon. He is a menacing creature and is very scary!
