Fave from 2008

Out of all the shots I have taken this year the ones from this particular session I am especially pleased with.It is not just the fact that the Peregrine is my favorite bird but the way she just sat there whilst I set my gear up was brilliant.It isnt the best pic I have taken technically but the experience was enough to make it tops for me personally.

May I take this opportunity to thank you all for taking the time to look at and comment on my pics throughout 2008.They really are appreciated and sometimes humbling.I would also like to wish you all the very best wishes for 2009.
Thank you,Mike.

Mike,a great shot.We have a pair hunting in this area along with the Kestrels.

Not everyday stuff to get a Peregrine posing nicely in this kind of great setting. Love the pic and composition, Mike.

Have a great shooting year in 2009 too! |=)|
