9P1A2269 Peregrine Falcon (juvenile) Greater Manchester

Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) (full frame)

This juvenile spent most of the afternoon badgering the adult female for food. This behaviour has been typical over the last few days. It found a bit of wing and carried it out then dropped it. I think that the bird may have difficulties catching prey for itself and may have problems coordinating/processing/sequencing so is heavily dependant on the adults. I hope it gets its act together soon. I find photographing flight shots at 700mm with a cropped sensor is a bit of a challenge.
