Peregrine Falcon on the beach
During a walk with my family yesterday evening along the beach at Burnham on Sea in Somerset, I saw a bird land on the sand way off in the distance....I thought, 'That's not a Gull!'
As we got closer I realised it was a bird of prey..... closer still, I saw it was actually a Peregrine Falcon!
I checked that it wasn't a Falconers bird.....it didn't even have any rings!
We watched it for a while, my 8 year old daughter was fascinated.... then it took off, flew around, over our heads then flew inland.
A wonderful unexpected experience....another reason why I always have my camera with me! :)
