Peregrine Falcon Update

Very lucky today to stumble across this beautiful killer of the skies down at Dunsborough West Australia .

She was very annoyed so im guessing  I had stumbled into her nesting territory. 

So grabbed a couple of quick shots and then beat the retreat.

Will return later in the summer and hopefully catch another glimpse of this elusive bird

They are amazing aren't they? I was lucky to get one at Kings Park awhile ago. And yes there is no hiding for a Peregrine Falcon they see everything from miles around . Lovely capture Laza.

Well returned three weeks later to where I had encountered Mrs P in cranky mode.

Did a bit of search and was literally about to head back to the trail when I looked up and saw what all the fuss had been about 3 weeks earlier, what a adorable little killer of the skies

If you look carefully you can see remains of junior's meal just below him. Mum was actually about not too far away and fairly relaxed but I didnt want to disturb them too much so I didnt get closer to her for a better shot

Hope you enjoy

Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well

How great is that, Lazayes If you go there often you will find they will let you get quite close after a while. My local BS Kite lets me get very close these days.
