Saker Falcon - Flamborough 27th June '25

(all photos unedited but for cropping and a little sharpening  -click to enlarge) 

A very brief post on a quick break from guiding here at Flamborough (which began this morning and ends late this evening) - in the midst of which, this beautiful beast bulleted by over the cliffs, in from the east and inland at North Landing....
... I was fortunate to have the camera to hand - and fortunate to scramble and shoot at it successfully (as opposed to being a more conscientious guide ...) - and after sending the photos to friends and experts who know better than I, the consensus is for juvenile Saker: most pertinently from Dick Forsmann, who confirms it as such.
