It's unusual for me to actually see a rarity when one pops up. It's normally, "Oh, you've just missed it" or "it was showing beautifully all day yesterday" - you get the idea.
However, yesterday, we did actually see this bird. Thanks to Kim for the information and...
This lovely little falcon seems to be expanding slowly Eastwards through Central Europe. The closest and most populous colonies are in Hungary and each year sees more (mostly juvenile) birds turning up in Austria.
What a bird this was!
I heard about this bird at 7pm,
dropped everything and drove calmly (!) north.
We were getting better views with this than I have ever had with any Falcon!!
Absolutely brilliant :)
