Photo's







I have not posted any photo's for a while they have been as copied have been sold (by other parties). So I have decided that I might as well sell them, and the peregrine project will get a share from every copy. There is a dsisplay in the Cathedral shop. Just got to work out how to make the photo's availble and also work out to protect them on the net. This is the best I have come up with todate.

Falcon brings home the bacon again, plus can anybody fill the gaps?


Nipped down to the Cathedral this evening. At about 6.30pm the tiercel left, I presumed to hunt after a short foray he returned empty handed, he popped down to the nest ledge, and the falcon left, and she sat on the Old Police station for a brief moment, before she shot off towards the river. I then was distracted and kept busy answering a few questions to several interested parties. I then noticed the tiercel at the top of the Cathedral, and assumed the falcon was back with the chicks (wrrong). I was again distracted but just caught the falcon coming in with prey around 7.00pm. She landed below the nest ledge, the tiercel left the top of the tower and joined her, took the food? she then returned to the chicks and the tiercel started to took in, after a while he went up top to finish his meal. He then took the rest to the Tray. I would be interested in what the tiercel did in the tray, while the falcon was off hunting and how long the chicks where left alone. My times are approximate, can any body fill in the gaps??? please.

Tiercel repels intruder 02/05





































Not great photos as it was the battle with the intruder a (female eyass Peregrine 2008) was high up and a distance away. Almost invisable to the Naked eye.
