Good photo, interesting, I wonder what the peregrine thinks of the gargoyle.

Where pigeons roost you'll find them. Well done, Colin.

Has it caught a pigeon? There appears to be odd feathers to the left.
Nice one Colin.

There is a distinct similarity in the expressions of the gargoyle and the falcon.

Excellent photo. Under a government licence our group puts red "Darvic" (a kind of plastic) rings on young Peregrines throughout Greater MAnchester - I think I can just glimpse one here, but the white letters aren't showing. If anyone spots the code, please post it.

Great shot Colin. You must have been on a tall ladder to get this one.

They see eye to eye, at least. Great clear shot from the ground, good zoom lens.
