Description Translate
Yesterday I returned to where I photographed the female peregrine falcon with a dove in its claws.
The reason for my return was to locate the nest, which I found after several hours of searching.
Now I think I have photographed the first nest of peregrine falcons born in the wild in Peru, because although many of us knew of the existence of young falcons. there was no photographic evidence and no one had seen the nests physically.
I know that this is not a good picture, but is the first photo of several pics of the nest with 3 big chicks that has been sent as a documentary to the Peregrine Fund Foundation :))
PS: taken from very far with my old 75-300 at max zoom by hand held.
