Stunning views of this magnificent Peregrine Falcon at Clevedon yesterday! 😍
I only looked up because I heard a Raven calling overhead, and saw the Falcon dive-bombing the Raven! 😮😀🐦

I've been sharing my bird photos across the internet for almost 20 years.. what I'd love to know is if I've directly inspired any of you to appreciate birds more?
Maybe you bought a camera or started feeding the birds?
Please let me know!🐦🥰🐦

I'm thrilled, I saw my first ever Ring Ouzel late this afternoon! 😀😍
It's amazing that this beauty turned up at RSPB Ham Wall in Somerset, as they usually only stop off on migration on high ground, such as The Mendip Hills.🐦
It put on a great show as it feasted on berries! 😍
