Wild Red Footed Falcon

[russellsnr]

First time ever seen one.
Taken 26 May 24 in Cumbria.
Rare bird to UK and even rarer in Cumbria.
Russ.

 

[Dale.]

Wowzers, not every day.

 

[Box Brownie]

Well seen and photographed.

Never heard of it......so looked it up and yours appears to be a male.

They are, it seems, quite small in falcon terms and weight so little.

Also, (as so many other species) declining in numbers

There was one in Northumberland in 2023
