Peregrine Behaviour

                                A high flying female Peregrine goes into a steep swooping dive

     The same female sees the male returning with prey and takes off to claim her share of the prise

                                       A male Peregrine leaves the cliffs to hunt prey

                                        He returns to hand over the prey to the waiting female

                                         She goes for the prey but he resists handing it over

                                         He finally give in and presents it to her beak to beak

                  After the prey hand -over the female lowers her head and call to the male to mate

      But he has his sights firmly fixed on a pair of perhaps a little fool hardy inquisitive Jackdaw

         He finally makes a near vertical powerful take off to rejoin the female high up on the cliffs
