LRK diary Dec-18

This year missed an opportunity to visit LRK , however got some amazing memories of last year visit hence couldn't resist myself to post this image.
Here a Peregrine falcon flapping to conquest the sky.
The male peregrine is called a 'tiercel' because it is a tierce (one third) smaller in size than the female. Peregrines will often return to the same eyrie (nest) each year.

Beautiful pose and eye contact. Good details in the underparts of the wings. The sharp talons look menacing :). Thanks for sharing.

Nice pose. I like the way it is looking. Any selective sharpening of the subject layer? It would have been even better with a prey in its talons. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
