Red-footed Falcons V Canon R6 Mk2 – no contest!!
01st May 2025
As I mentioned previously a big fall of these magnificent birds occurred across the island and when they come in numbers it is a sight to behold – in one location 105 birds were reported, just amazing.
Travelling across a very rocky landscape in the west of the island we could see about twenty birds in the distance flying around. We though they were Barn Swallows, until we got closer and could see they were falcons. These birds are just so beautiful, we quickly stopped the car and jumped out before they decided to move on – what a bird they are.
Once again the Canon R6 Mk2 locked onto them and allowed me to get some action shots as they ‘Hawked’ for flying insects.
