Lanner falcons against an African sunset.
While on our usual late afternoon walk the Italian leprechaun and I spotted this pair of Lanner falcons. These raptors are considered near threatened, yet there are several pairs on the farm.

Wow, Phil, what a privilege to see and have Lanner Falcons on the farm. I read that they're the only raptor fast enough to catch pigeons in flight. That's why we have too many pigeons in Africa now, because their natural predator is in decline. Your photos are beautiful. Love Jo xxx
That's some sunset!
Good that they have a save place. We want to protect endangered species as much as possible.
