This juvenile peregrine falcon hadn’t yet learned to be wary of humans when I came across it sitting by the Cornish coast path yesterday evening, so what better shot for #BirdOfTheDay, as the theme is #GreyDay #birds #ukbirding #birdphotography #naturephotography #EastCoastKin

I spent this morning looking for shorties, hoping that they may have returned to Cornwall for the winter, but was out of luck. However while hidden in a thicket I was visited by a family of beautiful roe deer which made my day. #RoeDeer #ukwildlife #uknature #wildlifephotography #mammals

I’ve been photographing juvenile peregrines on the Cornish cliffs over the past few days. Imagine my surprise (and its!) when one landed in the grass about 5 metres from me… we looked at each other for a couple of minutes before it flew off. #ukwildlife #birds #ukbirds #wildlife #ukbirding
