Peregrines often find just one spot where they can perch adjacent to their nest site (in this case on coastal cliffs). They are restless observers of every thing that is going on around them and ferocieous defenders should an intruder pose a threat. I love the sense of a lofty perch, and the poertraiture of these wonderful birds.

This is much bigger than the original, (about 36 inches by 24 inches) and is a move towards cutting out everything that doesn’t contribute to evoking the experience of observation. I seek to create memorable images that convey the deep enjoyment of the visual experience of nature. The part of our field of vision that is actually in focus is a fraction of the overall visual experience. The rest contributes colour, rhythm, movement- all of the things that malke up our sense of being alive.
