Got bored with site going down all the time, so decided to take my camera with me, there is a family of Peragrine Falcons on site, but are quite tricky to catch, i got lucky, really lucky to get these, its the adult male, was sitting on a lifting arm, i was 2 levels above him, i started whistling and he looked straight at me.
Last shot is a closeup to show how much i hate my crappy lens
Just need a decent lens to capture him with really, the sigma 100-300 i have isnt the best, and on a platform that is connected to a kiln & other machinery, so it was hard to stay steady.
This one was at night, got quite lucky with the lighting in the sky. I would try & sell it to site, but i'd probs get wrong for not asking permission, plus they are cutting back on staff, so pretty pics isnt going to be on their top ten list of stuff to buy.
