Peregrine in our backyard!

On 23 June I was sitting on our terrace eating cherry and thinking about the matters of life with my camera in my hand because I wanted to take photos of the male Black Redstart that breeds every year under the eaves. It was a real pleasure. The white homing pigeons of a far street neighbour were flying quite unusually when suddenly an adult Peregrine appeared from the right with a white pigeon and flu through our backyard around 30 meters from me and 25 meters high!

Pure pigeon was alive but completely shocked.
I had three seconds to raise the camera and to shoot some images but I could make it and it was really a great moment!

The pigeon miraculously escaped few seconds later being too heavy for the falcon thus the peregrine dropped it.
