A bit of action today from two of the most accomplished raptors that visit Venus Pool. Firstly an adult Hobby. Always over trees across the pool, catching dragonflies..
Soon to be joined by a juvenile male Peregrine (probably a male), living up to his reputation as a speed merchant and pretty acrobatic it was too!
I had to settle for some white cloud pics before it dived and chased a very lucky Lapwing over the pool which became separated from the main group! Spectacular moments which happened at such speed I couldn't lock onto the Peregrine...
At one stage it came in from behind the Memorial hide skimming the roof! Exhilarating stuff!
