1. Mama on the cliff
2. Dad on the cliff with food
3. One of the fledglings on the cliff
4. The fledgling took off
5. Young peregrine in flight
6. Two fledglings on the cliff
7. Three fledglings on the cliff
8. It's hard to be a dad for 4 hungry fledglings. He only got one coot leg with barely any meat on it.
9. The fight for the food began, for the coot leg bone!
10. This time they got more meat.
11. Playing with a stick
12. Two fledglings playing
13. Mock battle
The following 3 shots are from a sequence
14. Mama came home with left over food
15. She started eating when one fledgling dropped in. I was too close, had no chance to get all the wings, but I like the expresion in the young peregrine's eyes: "Mom, how dare you eat when I am still hungry!"
16. "OK, my child, you can have it."
The following shots are not good quality, but they reflect the behavior of the peregrine falcons.
17. Attacking the dog on the beach
18. Attacking the opsrey
19. Young peregrine attacking shore bird.
20.Of course, he missed
