It almost looks as though the Grebe is flying under its own power; held head forwards just as an Osprey would carry a fish. Oh wait... |
I can only imagine this Osprey later in the morning hasn't read the manual. |
But back to the Peregrine. I'd watched it chase down the Grebe while driving along the sea wall and noted where the it came down on an worn old tree trunk and slowly drove towards it. I stopped well short and not wanting to interrupt the Peregrine's morning meal and tried to take some shots through the windscreen but the results aren't great.
Don't you just hate it when you drop breakfast; butter side down no doubt. |
The Peregrine went down to it but I was surprised that it soon flew back onto the tree without its prey. |
