Re: Peregrine in a puddle

A particularly delightful and soothing video.
Well worth settling down to for 5 or 10 minutes with a nice cup of tea !
Thank you very much, most enjoyable.

Re: Peregrine in a puddle

i am glad you liked it,it was not so relaxing capturing the event,all nerves taking over wondering if it would take flight,but as watching it over there seemed a time of sheer enjoyment by the bird and then a change to hunt mode,something i wont forget in a hurry

Hi James,

Enjoyed viewing this intimate bathing sequence. Well done and thanks for sharing it.

I've just Tweeted the weblink to a small flock of Peregrine enthusiasts so you'll likely get an increase in 'hits' over the coming days.

What a great sight. How are you going to better it!?

Marsh Harrier in a puddle perhaps.
