Has David's peregrine lost a couple of claws?

We're impressed with David's peregrine image in a typical perching pose. From the view of blood-stained foot it looks like it had eaten a meal recently. However, the image also seems to suggest that it may have a couple of claws damaged or missing? When enlarging the image the foot looks a bit odd. Hopefully the talons are hidden from view and the birds foot is quite normal.
