A female Peregrine at Sawara 4 years ago today. It briefly shared the same hunting ground as that year's Gyrfalcon although I never saw them interact. It had obviously just killed and eaten something judging by the blood on its belly................
The background is an old disused lighthouse; not a public toilet exterior.
That day was one of the the coldest I've experienced in south Hokkaido. Minus 19 and it was windy too making it feel even colder.
THAT's cold ! The Peregrine certainly looks like a hardened killer in this shot...
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be weighing up whether or not it could possibly hunt and eat the human pointing a camera at it...........
