    NZ Falcon

    I was out at the Taupo range this past week when a flash past just above me and then a loud thump as it collided with something else. I looked up from where I was about to take another shot to see what turned out to be a Falcon hit the ground just out in front of me with a bird in it's talons. It stood there staring at me and occasionally having a peck at it's struggling prey. It was a wet day so the photo I took was not great, I also managed to walk to within about 5 meters of it while videoing. Unfortunately I deleted the video file instead of the crap pic. It's not the first time I've seen an NZ Falcon but was a bit of a rush given where it happened. Apparently a couple of pair were released up Tauhara recently.
