A Falcon with a taste for snazy footwear

We watched a wonderful display at the weekend. On a bright warm day among a group of around half a dozen hobbies hawking a reedbed was an interloper. A Red Footed Falcon from the east was among them. Not just a Red Footed Falcon but a stylish male. Dressed in a cloak of grey with bright highlights he took insects we could barely see within those red talons and transferred them to his bill in one smooth movement.
