NZ Falcon

I spied this falcon spying on the babies in the Tui nest high in the treetop. I intervened armed only with my camera. At least I got the capture rather than the falcon - this time anyways. The Tui were happier.

Fab capture Liana. We have a falcon which glides over our land at least twice a day, but can I catch him! Glad you saved the Tui's though.

We dont have the NZ Falcons here in the North

@kali66 They are indeed - I just don't want them to decimate the Tui population as he has already had a go at the ducklings!

[Liana Bull]

@Dawn Although they are an endangered species, there is alocal breeding programme to supply sufficient birds to protect the grape harvest from sparrows!
