Landing Caracara

Canon EOS 20D 1/2500s f/3.5 ISO400

One of a pair of striated caracaras I met on Carcass Island intent on stealing eggs from a group of oystercatchers. It was a battle that lasted over an hour, during which time the oystercatchers repeatedly bombed the caracaras. This one is investigating my monopod.

This image and others like it can be found in the Falklands Birds gallery.
