    An absolute rarity for me and one of the last captures that day. I could have stayed longer but the falcons changed their hunting area.

    Red-footed falcon

    Female red-footed falcon. As I observed it it landed on the ground in the roadbeds, then soon took off again. It caught and ate dragonflies in flight about 3 times. Its orange chest gave it away, which would have otherwise been difficult

    many thanks for all your comments and sympathy. Looks like these two red-footed had a family dispute.

    A group of several individuals were chasing insects along the runway of the airport. They would regularly spend long moments preening on the fence around the airport.

    The plaine de Bivre, north-east of Grenoble, is a good place for spring migration of red-footed falcons. 2015 was a particular good year. The largest group I saw included more than 75 individuals, chasing insects on a fleshly ploughed field. I share a few of these 2015 photos.

    Was trying out an alternative route to Varna airport to collect our daughter and family on Monday (there are roadworks on the main road and I will do anything to avoid sitting in traffic - must be all thiose years of driving in London!) when I came across this little lady! A much hoped for Lifer!
