Pigeon

Friday 31 October 2008

I've never seen anything like this. A falcon swooped to just a couple of metres away from me, pinning and decapitating a pigeon in one swift move. Brilliant! It then, with no fear despite it being broad daylight and lots of people milling around a busy pavement, spent the next couple of minutes removing the prey's feathers before carrying it away. It was such a beautiful bird, and i was lucky enough to take a snap of it
