Young Peregrine Falcons take to the wing. North Cornwall coast 7th July 2020.



These Peregrine falcons have finally fledged and can be seen doing their aerobatic displays over the Cornish cliffs.

Strong winds have seen them perfecting their flying skills as they swoop & soar on the updraughts.
At times the gales have been so strong that they've taken shelter under the ledges until a grumpy raven or a frumpy fulmar moves them on.

We're not sure if they've fledged 2 or 3 youngsters although we are thinking more towards the 2 birds as they're often seen together and are looking like a male & a female.

A delightful mini-portfolio Adrian; I particularly love the juvenile pairing - so alert, and a lovely composition. Respect!!
