bird of prey: peregrine falcon

Sometimes strange things happen.
Last June I was doing some birdwatching. I decided to take my camera and tele lens with me.
I watched some gulls, ducks, nothing really exiting. Suddenly I discovered a young peregrine falcon sitting on a flat roof of a storehouse.
At this time of the year the young one have to learn how to hunt. And his mother was circling around with some prey to motivate him to follow her.
It was quite interesting to watch him through the lense.
Then it happend somehow. He was flying off. I followed him and pressed the shutter release. 8 Fotos in 1 Second. Never thought it could last so long!
At home I was exited to find out that all of those fotos were focused on the falcon. Yippee!!!
This is one of them I like most.

Wunderbar erwischt, Uli! Ja, es macht schon Spaß, wenn der Auslöser mehrfach rattert und man hinterher erstaunt ist, was da an Quali bei rum gekommen ist. Super schönes Foto!
LG,
