RED-FOOTED FALCON

What a stunning bird! I'm not really into off patch 'twitching' but if something within 50-60 miles of home really takes my fancy then I may go for it - this was one such occasion. I had a horrible journey to Morden Bog NNR late afternoon; there were multiple crashes on the A35 and the diversions were not fun. As such, I arrived on site 30mins later than intended so was worried the bird would have already settled to roost for the night. It took a while to find her but thankfully persistence paid off; she was on trees about 1/2 mile South of the Decoy Pond. These pics were taken just after Sunset so light was rather lacking, but they came out O.K. none the less.
