Saw the pics in the Metro, but it didn’t do them justice. They look cracking on here. Top stuff!

I was actually in the Towans at the time and missed it! FYI at another time I saw a hen Peregrine teaching a youngster to hunt there. She flew in low and put up a small flock of Dunlin, then did a hand brake turn to drive them out over the open water. Youngster dived in, hit one which fell into the water but by some miracle it managed to get away!

You were so very lucky to get these photos!! How easy would it have been to just be sitting there looking at the Grey Phalarope through a telescope and not to have the camera ready for a series of photos like that! Chance in a lifetime, I’d say! Superb!

Great set of pictures, I have heard of Buzzards taking Little Owls up in the midlands and this proves that they are more than capable of taking birds, excellent
