Thorp Perrow part three

 The Saker Falcon is the second largest falcon in the world and breeds from Eastern Europe eastward across Asia. They are fast and can reach speeds of 200mph while hunting prey. I don’t know what speed this Saker was doing but trying to photograph it was a challenge to say the least.






I managed to get it coming into a stoop.




Not a great shot but I somehow managed to get the lure and the bird in the frame.

And got while it was upside down looking at the lure.

  1. Done well to get some of those flight shots Ron, forgot how much we enjoyed that, thinking of going back. The Caracaras are impressive birds, saw them fly first time we went. Brought back memories, cheers.
