Peregrine Falcon
We have a pair of Peregrine Falcon resident on top of the building where I work at the moment. It's taken me a while to get round to photographing them, but I finally managed to give it a go. The light wasn't great, hence the high ISO, but they were at least very active. Here one of them has what's left of a pigeon. At one point, whilst perched on the top of the building, the pair of them squabbled over it and dropped it, and I was treated to the sight of a peregrine diving down 10 stories to catch it mid flight, with the other in hot pursuit. Very impressive, but sadly didn't manage to capture the moment! We really are very lucky to have such a special bird literally sitting above our heads.
