Peregrines in flight......Update!

[fracster]

I lost the rubber eye piece off my D200 yesterday, but getting these makes up for it.......

Sorry for the overkill of shots over the last two days, i`m particularly happy to have seen these in the wild.

 

[jgs001]

Stunning shots, number 3 for me

 

[Graham_P_Clarke]

Why be sorry for the posts, they are stunning

 

[birdy961]

Well captured indeed
So lucky to see these in the wild

Why be sorry for the posts, they are stunning

Agreed, as i said in your other post, i have a breeding pair of these that i have 24 hour access to, and i NEVER get tired of watching them is just a shame i need an astronomical telescope to get a decent pic of them lol

 

[fletch5]

nice shots, but look like a tighter crop would work better.

 

[Bikemansteve]

Very nice shots.......

 

[oldgit]

top shots

 

[Dangleman]

Great shots, amazing birds aren't they. We had a pair nesting near us last year, not seen any this year yet though....

 

[Lateralus]

well done fracster= )

 

[jimbob]

#3 is a killer,well done

 

[jimbob]

its a shame everyone else isnt so pleased to see the peregrines http://www.rspb.org.uk/news/details.asp?id=tcm:9-190624

Cracking shots!

All due respect, what a shower of ******s who did that,the moorland gamekeepers that I know,work with and admire, don`t mind the peregrine taking grouse, and their living depends on grouse. Not a one of them harms birds of prey, those bad days are long gone.

These scumbags are even using fentraps that only mutilate the birds, they don`t even have the knowledge to use anything else.

Assholes..........rant over.

Cracking shots!

Cheers bud.......

We had a couple of pairs of mating Peregrines on our pheasant shoot up in the hills in Powys, and they took a fair few pheasant poults but no-one begrudged them at all.

 

[Cobra]

I somehow missed these 1st time
That "tear drop" stoop is a stunner and bloody difficult to get

 

[Matt Sayle]

Cracking set of shots!

 

[fracster]

Thanks for the comments,i`m going back early next week to see if I can get some better ones.....

 

[marky_h]

Excellent set - real menace and power in #3 particularly

 

[fracster]

Thanks bud.....

When I go back next week i`m going to try and pan them with my 500mm set up, should be interesting, as well as arm achingly heavy..........

Problem is that I won`t go too close to the nest, they seem ok with people watching them, but it would be wrong to alarm them in anyway. So i`ll still have to crop them no matter which setup I use.

 

[Gary Wood]

very nice shots , crop or not they are nice to see

 

[Venomator]

These really are excellent images and the third is a real stunner ...

 

[hairy]

Agree with everyone else; and #3 really is the dogs thingys

 

[hunter20ga]

very nice shots!

 

[lammie]

All good captures but No3 is a cracker.

 

[King of Groove]

Brilliant shots.

 

[fracster]

The two chicks have flown the nest and are now being taught how to hunt by mum and dad. A success story so far, though wether they will last the first winter is a lottery, but that is nature.

Not technically brilliant photos, but I thought i`d share them with you.

I love the 'stoop' you captured in number 3 brilliant!
