Male Peregrine Falcon aka Odin the Stoop Master.
Shot with Sony a1 Mark 2 and Sony 200-600mm Lens.
For these kind of fast moving action shots being able to track well in not enough, having a Camera that can reliably auto focus is a must.

The welfare revolt does *not* prove that Labour MPs are "constitutionally incapable of making hard choices".
It proves that they will not just wave through hugely damaging changes, that harm those most in need, on which they've not been consulted.
That's MPs *doing* their jobs, not abdicating them

Lo, the rich man telleth the poor, “Pull thyself up by thy bootstraps.”
But verily, he weareth golden sandals, woven by the labor of those he scorns.
And when asked to lift a finger, he lifteth only his middle one.
The louder they preach merit, the deeper they drown in inherited spoils.
