Just wonderful opportunities yesterday, I am thrilled that all my patience and planning came together so well. I spent 25 hours in this particular hide without one photo opportunity and now that the young peregrines have left the nest ledge the photo opportunities have increased, not only because the youngsters are not as vigilant as their parents but there are now 5 birds flying around!  When I served in the Royal Marines we talked about the 5 "Ps".  Thats Planning, Preparation, Patience, Perseverance which leads to good Performance…. there is a slightly more crude version of that but you get the picture.
