I saw three peregrines mid-week just gone and they were marvellous to see, one falcon came quite close to me on the thermals in the hills. Truly breathtaking birds OTC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasper65 6 Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Looks like a lovelly female Spar and by looking at the colour of her eyes she been around for a for a while! their eyes are bluey grey when chicks and turn Marigold for the first year and start to orange up before turning a Murderouse Red, "The elfin assasin with thunder in their tallons". Peregrines have dark eyes compared to Hawks, mind you the camera has made these one's look Purple :whistle:... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
