Peregrine Falcons at Malham Cove
A crescent of high cliffs rooted into a plateau of heathland. From all directions cloud mottled wings, dart between the light and shade - falcons, their wingspans aerofoiled for instant chase. Heads and beaks seem to part the sky, as the raptors javelin the air. Peregrine’s dive through their own wind-dancing arabesques, their streaked silhouettes skimming over the towering rocks. Camera's gaze to hold and capture, lens's fishing for...

The peregrine falcon inspires fear In 'most every bird, far and near, Such air pressure as he swoops so fast! Three eyelids protect him from the blast....

Peregrine Flacons
Mottled wings spear the air, a grey flash and splintering. Stream lined heads sharply applied as if the wind itself tore through openings in the sky. The birds circle and swoop, dive and free-fall, tumble & soar, spiral high, riding a rollercoaster of avian ecstasy. We, the heavy-footed, chase with our lenses, aiming to catch these flickering arrows - most capture only a blurring blear. Whoever reacts ahead...

Premium Member Yours Truly, Peregrine Falcon
I'm a bird of prey creme de la creme. On air, I'm like a heat-seeking missile, a kamikaze airplane swooping down on prey with lethal precision. My large eyes, as sharp as an Eagle's. Tell the Eagle I said so! I can also spot and zero-in on a prey from thousands of feet high! I'm a solitary speed demon of...

Premium Member Charmouth Cliffs
Green carpet fields, laid seamed and edged with berry hedge and windswept tufted trees hemline the valley stream that cuts through to the sea. Coarse bracken covers the higher cliff, with feather ferns in darker damper climbs beside the path's incline. Here sloes display September's hues - softened bloom on velvet blues. Blackberry brambles necklaced...

The Huntsman and His Peregrine
The huntsman and his peregrine Woods was all his belongings The huntsman's only pride and his holy livelihood Flew an injured peregrine to his land one evening Her quill feathers perfumed of mountains and coastal She was somebody or someone of a kind like peregrine species of grass He beholds an earnest affection for this creature Full of dotes...

Peregrine Falcons
A gray splintering of light, mottled wings spear the air. Their heads sharply applied as if the wind itself tore through openings in the sky. The birds circle and swoop, circle and swoop. They are not hunting, a flickering gravity is their playground, the rockface their Jacobs ladder. They spiral high then a rollercoaster of ecstasy tips them back toward the earth as arrows thrown from a bow. We onlookers are...

Prodigious Peregrine
~The Prodigious Peregrine~ The wide winged Peregrines soar over the ocean. Flapping their wings in steady motion. Grazing the waves as they head for the caves shadowing the finned on their way there. The prey they ensnare makes their trip through the air proof they are quite disciplined. When it's time to resume they will fly by the moon back to their grassy bedding. There they will rest feeling well fed under...

Watching you atop your tower for once wishing not to be you but to be the dove on which you prey to so honourably have you take my pain away I turned to set this thought to paper when I looked back you were gone and I sank so sad to still be there....

A majesty of nature sits there in the dead tree A majesty of flight turns to look at me A majestic raptor braced and tuned for this cold Majestic eyes scan the valley deep for prey yet untold A majestic transformation to flight Effortless drop, invertedly! Precision, speed, raw might Soaring low into the deep valley This king of the skies now stoops...

Premium Member A Peregrine Falcon
A peregrine falcon masters the sky its wings majestically arched with flair soaring with the elements eye to eye. In a flurry of speed, it flashes by serenely aloof, untethered and rare a peregrine falcon masters the sky. Sunlight gilds feathers as soft as a sigh and flickering flecks ignite in the air soaring with the elements eye to eye. Naturally nimble, graceful,...
