On the south coast today a male Peregrine is perched high on a cliff top watching as always for potential prey flying along the cliffs below.
He spots one of his favourite prey subjects a Black Bird passing bye and launches himself down the cliff face in pursuit,
At the last second the blackbird sees him coming and tries to dive on to a rock ledge for cover but it is too late and the peregrine lifts the blackbird off of the ledge using just one of its lethal sets of talons.
There is no escape for the blackbird which is about to meet its end but nature dictates that this is the way it has to be and the peregrine has to do his best to survive and probably has a family relying on his hunting skills as well !!
