    Default Peregrine @ Dinton

    Well, at Lavells Lake... (Found thanks to you guys )
    Spotted by me this afternoon... at about 17:30
    The light was really really bad and this guy was high and fast - I was at ISO 12800 just to get any light into the camera

    I f you want to see peregrines then the hospital at London Wetland Centre is a good Place (although birds are far away) also The ridge at Arundel wetland centre again birds are fairly distant.

    Interesting, thanks guys.
    It had the dark cheeks and light throat that put me in the peregrine direction.
    Hadn't even considered it might be a hobby.... I'd better change my post on berksbirds :| !

    About 2 months early for Hobby's apparently.
    They're not in the UK until mid-late April

    Well although that is normally the case, it isn't impossible for one to be here now.

    It seems to be much the cause for debate all over the place!

    Does this additional pic help?
