I spent 20 seconds eyeballing a Peregrine Falcon from 3 feet away today. Returning from a Pennine handicap I saw something in the road. I slowed down and a beautiful Peregrine had a freshly killed pigeon in its talons. Even when I stopped in the car and wound down my window it still didn't move. Only when another car pulled up behind me did it drag its kill into the undergrowth. It was great to see such a beautiful bird close up. Made my day.
