Growing up seems to happen very fast in nature, a matter of survival, and young Peregrine falcons are a sight to behold. Peregrines are the fastest member of the animal kingdom with a diving speed of more than 200 mph. Hooken Cliff, Branscombe, East Devon. 1st July 2022.
Terrorising The Neighbourhood
Young, keen, hungry, green, learning the ropes
Sweeping the cliff, screeching, mobbing pairs, jets in sky, speeding high
In hunt fatigue bristling talons and beak, eyes stare, into the stoop,
Dropping,
Dropping like a stone.
Watch out!
