Although it was a little late for migration,I was more than happy to spend time with these Eleonora falcons on one of the dams near Paphos.
|
 |
| I had previously done a recce,a few days earlier and noticed a few Eleonora's in the far distance. |
 |
| A plan was hatched to try and get a few images of the falcons, so armed with my small hide/tripod/ flask |
and a chair,I waited patiently in my chosen spot by the shallow end of the dam.Some 5 hrs later,I was rewarded with stunning views of the falcons at close quarters!
 |
| Back again a few days later, no sign of the Eleonora's, but a n Osprey put in an appearance! |
 |
| My luck was really in,as after a few fly arounds and one attempt at fishing, it came straight towards me and plonked itself down 25 metres away! |
 |
| Its not often this happens to me, but I wasn,t complaining this time.I will post a few more images of the Eleonora's in my next blog.Hope you enjoyed the shots, stay safe all! |
