Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and faved my images. Enjoy the day.
In all my years taking wildlife photos, this my first ever Peregrine Falcon inflight. Very exciting indeed!
Brown Falcon
≠==================≠
The male of a pair.
He is bringing in a delicacy for the female. At the time I suspected they were in the business of preparing a nest for the season.
Brown Falcons seem to be well adapted at dealing with snakes.
I've sat with them on a number of occasions, and they spend a lot of time working out the best moment of attack.
Their legs have a thick scaling, that gives them some protection from attack
if you're interested there is a blog post from a couple of years back that shows a Brown Falcon making a kill.

Brown Falcon

Harry called from way out on the river flats and sailed into the treeline with a meal for Sally.
I missed the food exchange, but he quickly came out in the open and sat opposite me on the track.
Whatever he had captured was enough for her, and his crop was very full.
He sat quietly digesting the meal.

We had been upcountry visiting family and were invited to take a peek at some nesting Falcons.
They were still sitting on eggs, so we had a quick look and left them to their work.

No wonder the Galahs were in a frenzy.

The Falcon in Clapham Junction.
There has been an Inn here since the early 1700's.
It is said that certain parts of the building date back 275 years.
The majority of what we see now, dates from the 1870's, when it was rebuilt as a Hotel with a public house on the ground floor.
The interior was remodelled in 1896, making it a big open plan space. With extensive use of oak and glass panels, it is on the campaign for real ale's inventory of historic pub interiors.
It also entered the Guinness book of records, for having the longest bar counter in a public house.

Brown Falcon
≠=================≠
This is one of two light chested Falcons that are working in the area. Just recently I've determined that this is the female, with the strong dark teardrop down to her chin.
Something had her attention, and while it looked like she was just resting, no doubt she was working out the best time to make her move.
I left after about 20 minutes, and on return later, she was gone.
I may be a bit biased, but there is something about the intense, but apparent casualness and patience, that a hunting Brown exhibits that fascinates me.

Attended Falcon Fest today. Put on by Peninsula Open Space Trust. Two raptors were "flown" by Falconer Kenny Elvin. Magnificent birds
This is a big crop and the falcon has a big crop after capturing and consuming a pigeon at the grain terminal.
No sign of a Gyrfalcon so far.

I saw this Peregrine Falcon Hunting and flew out of sight and then returned to the TV antenna to enjoy the feast.

≠====================≠
For those that don't know, this is Cassia, of Cinnamon.
She has been "In Confinement" the past 5-6 weeks hatching out her new brood. She would only come out to recieve food topups from Alistair the male.
We've left her in peace, it is a critical time for her.
I've seen her out the past few visits, so have concluded that her young are now strong enough to be left for short times on their own.
Today, as we walked in along the track, I spotted her slowly flying through the treeline to casually land on the tree directly in front of me.
A deliberate move on her part, and given there are any number of trees, she could have chosen out of sight of me, I am pleased she was comfortable enough to come and say hello.
I chatted away with her for about 10 minutes then she lifted off, flew over my head and slipped back toward the nest tree.
I know, I'm anthropomorphic. And loving it. :-)
