No chance for the sparrow...

Post by cyprusmax47 »

There is a very nice falcon around my property, sitting every day on the electric wire, waiting for prey, sometimes a mouse or lizard...

Image

One can see how his eye is fixed on something moving in the hedge - this time one of the many sparrows which are nesting in the area and under the solar panels...One second later he was diving down and successfully got one bird, taking it away to the next electric pole, ca 50 m distance.

Image

it took only seconds until all the feathers were removed
Image

with his eyes closed he must enjoying it a lot... nature at it's best..

Thanks for your nice comment. This type of animal photos is quite difficult to catch and is actually a little picture story....
