Brown Falcon - Falco berigora

Brown Falcons are small to medium-sized raptors (birds of prey). The female is larger than the male. The Brown Falcon has a range of plumage colours, from very dark brown to light brown above and off-white below. Generally, the upperparts are dark brown and the underparts are pale buff or cream. The sides of the head are brown with a characteristic tear-stripe below the eye. Birds from the tropical north are very dark, with a paler face and undertail, while those from central Australia are paler all over. Younger birds resemble dark adults, but have less obvious barring on the tail, and a buff-yellow colour on the face, throat and nape of the neck.

Well,well
some pictures on this site are boring and just a few are incredible, just like this one. How did you achieve this?? That falcon must have been pretty close to get such a stunning picture using a flash light.
Really like it

Merhaba Fatih

It's not easy to capture in fly a bird like this!
You did a good work with it.
nice sharpness and color balance, I like the light in the eye of the bird, when I first saw it I think to myself: "did he used a flash to achieve this?", then I saw the "view" and i comproved that... I still wondering how with a 500mm lens, but that is..

Hello Fatih,
Fantastic photo of this Brown Falcon. So close with only a 400 mm lens. Splendid clear colours and excellent sharp details. The blue around the eye is a eye-catcher. Wonderful pose and timing.
Regards,
Peter

Oh, it is gliding on the surface of the air! I love the picture, there's a feeling of freedoma as if we are almost the bird, like the chamans used to do. Bravo, it is superb and a real mystery to me, how you can photograph such a bird almost from the side. Many thanks,

Francine
