Great photos!
In J.A.Baker's UK classic The Peregrine (Penguin 1967) p. 16, he wrote "Peregrines bathe every day. They prefer running water, six to nine inches deep...The bed of the stream must be stony and firm with a shallow incline sloping gradually down from the bank....etc etc..."

I have never seen a raptor bathe - I guess they do and enjoy it just like all the other species. This was out at the Thawa sandwash this morning and a long way down river from the car park.
