I sighted this beautiful and very rare falcon sitting on a dead tree on Blackheath, Surrey. The light was poor and the distance great but through the telescope it could clearly be seen. Marvellous! The photos aren't great but still its elegance and sickle wings can clearly be seen. I followed it round for some time trying to get a better picture as it flew from tree to tree, but all to no avail and eventually it vanished through the pines and was gone. A ghostly and magical memory of one of our most impressive birds.
