A few days ago I had the good fortune to capture an aerial prey hand over between a pair of Peregrine, In the first shot above the smaller male bird has dropped prey which the female grabbed within her large talons before it had fallen a metre,
The female then flew in my direction and landed on a favoured plucking ledge to dispatch the remnants of a luckless pigeon.
The Male bird had already taken his share of the prey before handing it over so he left the female to finish off the rest.
