    Comment by 'KevinC' in media 'Female Peregrine Flypast'

    >Were they flying quite slow or fast?< Did you ever hear of a peregrine that flew slowly? ;-) Seriously though, she was flying at quite a pace, many of the shots were blurred even shooting at f/4.

    A male Peregrine soars over sandstone cliffs. He had just delivered the 'evening meal' to the female incubating the eggs in their nest.

    Hello from South Africa

    Hi to all, I'm a photographer currently based in Mossel Bay, a beautiful little coastal town along the Garden route in the Western Cape, 480km's east of Cape Town. I am a 'raptor nut' and have been working on a Peregrine book for the past 5 months. Maybe I should re-phrase that, I have spent 3...
