svenning Posted December 18, 2006 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) When my ship passed Sri Lanka - this small falcon (?) landed on board. It was very tired and I could approach the bird within one meters distance before it flew off. The bird stayed on board until we passed Somalia. I hope it survived.

imported_peter_m Posted December 21, 2006 Share #7 Posted December 21, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Very nice catch Svenning, Nice detail color and posture of the bird. He may have figured out hitching a ride is a lot easier then flying Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

svenning Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share #11 Posted December 25, 2006 Beautiful photo, you took good advantage of this unique opportunity. Yes it is a falcon, which one I'm not certain. Dear Doug, Here is some other pictures of the falcon - that may give you an idea of what kind of falcon it is? All the best - Svenning, Denmark.

telyt Posted December 26, 2006 Share #12 Posted December 26, 2006 My best guess is that it's an immature Hobby (Falco subbuteo). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilyum Posted December 29, 2006 Share #13 Posted December 29, 2006 Great captures, Svenning! That bird certainly looks exhausted. He looks like a Peregrine Falcon to me, but I'm willing to bow to the opinion of an expert. Best regards, Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
