Observation details
I was just writing this checklist when I was told about there being a Falcon right outside the front window!! Of course, I quickly but quietly grabbed my camera, set myself up amongst the cushions... and there, brimming with power, darting sharp glances in every directions, was a perfect Peregrine!!! The alertness of this creature absolutely astonished me; even from this great distance, and with me behind a window, it immediately locked eyes with me, on edge, daring me to make my move!! I bagged shot after shot before trying to sneak a little closer... and that was it. Immediately, the Peregrine turned and leapt off its branch, and so ended another wonderful time in the presence of a very old favourite!!
