Peregrine Falcon High-Up in Milnerton, Cape Town

A long-range shot of my neighbour, just before dusk. He knows I’m watching. Well, he’s calling and reminding me of 'his majesty’s' presence – and that is always a privilege – here or there.

I heard the familiar Peregrine Falcon screech just before dawn this evening, and I looked out the window - and there he was, perched across from Arnhem, Milnerton on another building, more / less the same height when he is here outside Arnhem.  

Almost too far for my 400mm lens to get a decent image of the Peregrine Falcon, but, nevertheless, I tried and it exposed beter than expected. He was, oh, so aware that I was watching as it was directly across from my bedroom window.

Location: From Arnhem, Milnerton,
