(Falco peregrinus)
Visited Pulborough Brooks this week and while looking for somewhat smaller birs including warblers to photograph, my saw this Peregrine Falcon flying by with its prey tightly gripped. Not the best of photographs technically but my first photograph of a Peregrine of any note.

Hello Dude,
ReplyDeletePeregrine Falcons frequently nest near water on ledges of rocky cliffs or buildings, but occasionally will use abandoned stick nests of other species. They do not build nests, but scrape a small depression out of the soil. Peregrines are highly migratory in the northern part of their range. Thanks a lot!
