This Peregrine Falcon is showing a full crop. The crop is the name of the part of the falcon’s anatomy that serves as a storage area for food until it is passed to the stomach – often seen as a bulge in the upper part of the bird’s chest area when it is full.

Hi Pagman, not that close it's just a heavily cropped photo. The photo was taken in an unused quarry. To protect and stop the public getting hit by falling rocks there are wide barriers about 60-70 metres from the cliff face. Also the bird was very high up and to get the best angle is to go further back. Often see Raptors in this quarry, I'm very lucky to have it only a few hundred yards from my house.

Thank you for that, Peregrines are not very often seen , so your shots make it even more special.

Thank you, Pagman and Mike! I can't really take much credit for the timing, as I just pick out the frame with best timing from a series of continuous burst :-P:lol:
