A Falcon nesting in a tree

[Picky1]

I’ve received many remarkable nature photographs over the years but
this photo of a nesting Falcon is perhaps the most remarkable Nature
shot that I’ve ever seen.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Nature is truly breath-taking!

I've sent this to most of my older friends. The younger ones probably
have never seen a falcon and wouldn't recognize it.

LOL. Very nice!

Looks as if that nest has been established for some time.

That appears to be the rare Australian falcon. I believe they're an endangered species now.

Be a bugger to change the oil.

Female driver?

Had to be a quick shot since they are so skittish. Nice photo.

I hear that getting swooped on by a Falcon can be deadly...
