One of my favourites of Gyrfalcon in flight over heather covered cliffs. I really like the way the purple heather provides a complimentary contrast to the grey bird. The gyrfalcon (Falco rusticola) is a much stockier bird than the peregrine and bigger too, a very impressive species. Nikon D3, Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 ISO400 1/1600 @ f/5.6
