Peregrine Beauty

[Glenn Conlan]

It is that time of the year. Caught this beautiful female Peregrine catching the morning sun while taking a break from incubation duties. Notice how big the feet are, natures design for hitting and binding to prey. Shot handheld D5 600mm with 1.4tc, 1/2000 sec, F7.1 at ISO 800. Thanks always for the CC's

Great minds think alike! I like the feeling of her looking out over the water for food. Excellent look at those feet as well.

You guys are killing me with these peregrine shots! Nice looking shot that also gives a feel for the natural habitat. TFS this

Some great peregrine shots coming on here and this one is no exception. I like how the bird is perched and those talons look awesome. Love the contrast.

Tremendous portrait. What great light and the back drop is just out of this world!
