A peregrine to close.......



Hi there!!.

Today in my local patch (Zolina Reservoir)  I have witness a curious moment when a peregrine landed in an arable landfield ,close to shore where a ringed plover ans a dunlin were roosting.(nearby there was also a greensank but it didn't take notice of the danger (or at least it seemed quite confident....).

The two waders didn't move at all and stay alert for a few seconds. After that they begun to feed while the falcon was in the look out all the time.

Then the rain started and the raptor decided to go to abetter dryier zone.

This time the shorebirds were lucky and had a new exeirnce in their migratory journey , who knows when the sun rises again...

The  posibilities are various.....
