Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus)

Another shot of the Peregrine photographed from my window on 12 March.

Getting at least halfway decent pictures of a Peregrine has been my ultimate aim since starting bird photography, and I'm still getting used to the idea that it's happened :)

Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding!

A brilliant capture you have of this well framed beauty, John. A great shot, well done.

another superb aerial capture of this powerful falcon, John, the details are excellent, clearly much much more than halfway descent!

The detail and focusing is fantastic, John!
