Derby: rain or shine










A very early morning, stil dark. The light brough fog and breakfast. At least prey was plucked and next it will hav ebeen served somewhere else.
After breakfast the youngster took a shower. A natural one. The rain was pooring down, and they sure had a lot of fun. Shaking their feathers, sliding and slipping. And all wet they grabbed a bite in the rain. Those youngster they are so funny sometimes. How they love water!











Rest of the day was a mixture of sunshine, rain and really lots of prey. Falcon and tiercel kept coming in with fresh prey. These youngsters have been born in the best nest they could ever have wished for! The territory is very rich of food, high perchplace, a beautiful nestbox and strong healthy parents.











And again 2 prey items right after eachother. One youngster got hungry and grabbed a piece. A quiet day all together.
