I had the good fortune to see my first Peregrine Falcon yesterday here in Leicestershire. I couldn't believe my luck. What a beauty. Shame the photos don't really do it justice!   |

That is a fantastic photo, very clear. It must be quite hard to get a shot of the fastest bird on the planet  |

These are cracking birds Matt.

Well done!

thanks for all the comments. They really are impressive birds so I was very pleased.
Mrs Fish, thankfully they don't always fly at full speed, although I was still struggling

Saw my first Peregrine today. It was on the point of a cliff on the Gower Peninsular. I didn't know what it was till I got home, I just knew it was a new bird. I had to crawl along the edge of a cliff trying to get close enough to photograph it. Considering I don't like heights I think I was shaking so much even Image Stabalization couldn't get me a really good shot.

Very nice images of a great bird Matt. I would be proud of the photos if they were mine.
