Thanks everybody. I saw this one and another in action capturing a pigeon taking it down below the cliffs far too quickly for me to photograph. They just appeared from nowhere swooping with immense speed and partnership. This shot is after a feed of that pigeon!. This was the first time I have ever seen these birds in action. It was truly awesome.
