Cleanspade 3,324 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 ive just found a pair of peregrines in a working quarry. they work as a pair one either end of the quarry. when a bird flies past . the first one pushes it down along the face. then the other on ambushes it. havnt been able to get a pic. but have had the nest pointed out to me , and an invite to go back early next year. stunning birds, first ones ive seen. :D and hats off to anyone that has captured pics of these in flight. in the wild 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
