This rare Falcon lives mostly in the inland areas. I have only seen 5 in my life and the others were on the top of communication towers at about 250 feet or more. Luckily this one flew across our vehicle in western Queensland and landed about 40 yards away.
The light was poor so I had to go to high iso and down to 2000th without the teleconverter as I'm not confident with it on the PF in this sort of light. As this was the bird we had hoped for in 3400 k's over 8 days--Got lucky.

c and c very welcome hope you like it.







Very nice frame of rare bird in a rare pose... Well done!
instead of 21, (should never ever do this with the D5), in this case the bird was way too far and most of the frame would have been empty anyway.
