Hot foot to a Red-footed Falcon



A phone call from a friend alerted me that a Red-footed Falcon was at Pugneys Country Park in Wakefield. I hot-footed it down there and, sure enough, there was the falcon flying around above the reserve lake hunting dragonflies.

I got the camera out and spent a deal of time trying to capture this speedy little bullet as it hawked above the willows. One hour and a very stiff neck later, I had managed a couple of 'keepers'.

What a stunner the bird was.
