Sight of the Day
A mated pair of peregrine falcons hunting squirrels crossing a clearing in a local park. I've never been so close to these rare birds as I was today - and they have some stones. Squirrels wandered out scavenging for some food and they'd swoop out of the trees. Almost got them a few times, but the squirrels must have weight at least as much as them, and perhaps twice as much, so it was an awkward dance. Still, it's always nice to be reminded of nature in the heart of the city - and to see something you've always wanted to see in the flesh.
