Popular Post PINNACLE 2,297 Posted May 11, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I was tipped off last week that the Hobby's had returned, so armed with camera and lunch I took a slightly longer break yesterday for a fantastic show of up to 4 birds hunting. Not a lot of dragons about yet so they were having to work hard.

Dragonflies in flight just around the corner as well. 20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PINNACLE 2,297 Posted May 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Just sensational. Cant think of a better superlative!!!! TC Thanks all for the comments. I love these birds they are so skilled, fast and just stunning to watch and getting photos of them is a bonus. They were even catching flies and butterflies. Ace pics have you get any of any peregrines or merlins ? I have one shot of a merlin I took last year but it was a grab shot. I now know of a patch where I have seen them regularly so hope to get a few, but they are very quick and unpredictable so it is just a waiting game. There is a peregrine nest in Woking town centre which is just up the road for me. It would mean taking photos from a car park but that's ok with me apart for having to pay for it. Here is a link to the web cam, I am keeping an eye on it for the first flights. http://www.wokingperegrines.com/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
