Nice photos Charles. They are not easy to get close to. Love the one where it is stretching in particular.

This species was particularly affected by DDT poisoning and it numbers crashed right across the world. Not so bad in Australia though. Australia is considered the Peregrine Falcons last great stronghold. I regularly see them in Canberra, often from my workplace window. I never tire of sighting one. They are the most magnificent fliers.
