This is the same breeding peregrine pair as in my last post although this is the female attempting to do a food exchange with an offspring. The exchange was unsuccessful and mom simply brought the food back to the cliff face where there were other offspring waiting. The female has bands on both of her legs. She has been on this cliff face for about 7 years and with two different males. The last male was found dead about 100 miles up the coast missing one eye. It is a cruel environment in which these birds have to try and survive.
