They say that patience are a virtue and fortunately both Peter Tonkin and I are blessed with plenty, We Sat on coastal cliffs for four hours this morning as can be the norm when we are watching a female Peregrine that was going nowhere and not a picture taken,
She was waiting in turn for her mate to return with prey offerings or to mate with her if he had already supplied prey before we arrived,
Time was ticking by and there was just fifteen minutes left until we both had to be off doing other things when the male arrived out of nowhere but without prey to land on a ledge close to the female,
Seeing no prey she adopted a head down, tail up mating posture and shrieked at the male continuously for the best part of ten minutes before he took flight to loop around to mate with her and to produce for us this last minute Mating sequence posted above and below,
Time well spent !!
