Great photos, particularly the falcon. Did you find that in the wild? I'd love to see one in action.

Keep up the good work.

Paul

I've never seen a Red deer before. I think that's my favorite of the two - something I've never seen here in the States. (you may not see peregrine falcons here, either, but I see a lot of white-tailed deer...daily!) I just think they're both fabulous, though. Beautiful shots!

Thanks again guys.

Paul - I too would like to be able to get that close to a Peregrine, but alas no, this one was part of a falconry display. One day, maybe.........

John.
