Peregrine is
a one of the commoner raptors in Øygarden, especially during
the
winter. They are most often seen sitting on the outer islands and
hunting out over the sea - preying on auks and migrants. It is MUCH
commoner than Gyrfalcon.

This picture was taken at night - the bird was using an offshore vessel
as a look out post and made repeated forays into the night before
returning with this thrush. For more about nocturnal bird photography
