Early morning. I don’t think it wanted to move in the cool air. It held its spot, even when I moved the car opposite its perch. It is at about 12 metres. I had to shoot vertical with the 500mm lens to get all the bird in. This is a wing stretch just before take-off.

- Young Brown Falcon at WTP, learning new skills of hanging on to the branch and scratching at the same time. Pretty complex when you are only new at it.
