Peregrine activity

 This is the female. I thought she was asleep as she had been in this pose for several minutes.
But she suddenly came to life and appeared to be bright and alert. Perhaps she had something on her mind and was deep in thought.
I pulled back a bit for this shot, I thought this might be her nest site for this year. It certainly looks interesting. Going to keep a close watch over the next few weeks.

    Good morning Mike!:) This site looks promising. The female Perigrine does look like she is deep in thought, what a super pose to capture.

    Many thanks for the ID, I was going off the shape of the tail, but never thought of an Osprey. I have a lot to learn.
    Take care!:)

About Me

My photo
Evacuated during the second world war to a village in Yorkshire where I lived in the home of a good photographer for more than five years who taught me the basics and a great deal about nature. Well past retirement age I have been a wildlife photographer for more than 30 years. Red Kites have been my speciality for much of this period. I did spend several years snapping wheelchair athletes and organizing the British Road Race Championship. In the year 2000 I was awarded a distinction by the Royal Photographic Society for my portfolio on wheelchair athletes. Most of my pics are digital, using Sony cameras and Sigma lenses. I used to spend many weeks each year with friends in Wales which is close to the Elan Valleys where I got many of my raptor pics. I now get these pictures more closely to home, specially red kites and peregrines. I support my pension by selling my pics, cards, coasters, fridge magnets and key rings etc. at craft fairs, something I wish I had done much earlier in life. I give illustrated talks to clubs and societies on wildlife and other branches of photography that I have been involved in.
