Photo Essay: Red necked Falcon



Red necked Falcon

Known as Red-necked Falcon in Africa, but Red-headed Falcon in India. This is quite a widespread species but always rare & local across its range. These two birds are only my third sighting in all my years of birding!

This pair were in acacia savanna on the edge of a large dry pad, but they are also found in palm savanna.







This pair had caught a small bird 
& were sharing the kill





Very pleased with this sighing!













This was one of the highlights of my time in Etosha National Park.
