Peregrine Falcon juvenile

Peregrine Falcon juvenile

I had filmed his dad a few days ago then whilst watching the Heron hunt...i heard and saw this beauty above on a Sandy rock face. I think I must have had some grease on the lenses as there's a blurry bit above the Falcon. He sat for ages preening himself.

Thanks Mali....thought adults had longitudinal stripes and juveniles lateral. Any way thanks...i saw 2 ...one much bigger than this and very creamy coloured....i was very pleased to see them any way.
