Birds Red-footed Falcon - rare encounter!

[Loke]

Been a while since i posted, and havent been so much out with the camera lately. But yesterday i got a tip that there was a Red-footed Falcon hunting near a golfcourse just 30min from me, so i packed my gear and went there. When i arrived there was 10 photographers lying on the grass already, and the local newspaper was there

I read that the last 30-40 years there has been just a handful of sightings of this bird in Norway and thats why so many wanted to have a look. It was also going suprisingly close to us when we lied still in the grass, minding his own business, hunting worms and beetles. Anyways - here is a few shots.
