2 weeks ago, got the news of a migrating Peregrine falcon, went out early morning four times no luck. On one of the occasions falcon landed far away (what a luck) finally gave it a last try yesterday and this time luck was on my side.

What a fantastic set of photos Akhan. I didn't know that Peregrines would try to make a kill in water.
