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 years chasing after an elusive pair of perries along a 15km stretch of rugged coastline near my home. I finally located their nest site in early October last year and then spent around 5 hours a day for 3 months observing and photographing the incubating, rearing and fledging of a beautiful young female. (Only one of the 4 eggs laid was viable.)

The writing, however, proceeds at a snails pace.. I will post up some images on the gallery in the next day or so and will provide more details should anyone be interested.

Kind regards, Kevin
 
Hi Kevin and welcome to Bird Forum from all the Staff and Moderators

I'll look forward to hearing more about the Peregrines and other birds in your area - it sounds lovely there

Hi Kevin! Welcome to BirdForum :t:

Looking forward to seeing some of your photos and maybe we'll give you the stimulus to get going on that book ;)
