Just home after co-leading Limosa Hungary & Slovakia tour with Zoli Ecsedi.
We started the trip in the Hortobagy NP and on the first day visited this marvellous Red-footed Falcon breeding colony. Most of the birds use the specially provided nest boxes in a rookery (they often use nests of corvids) in an isolated stand of False Acacias Robinia pseudoacacia.

The 'Red-foot' is my favourite falcon and it's definitely a tough call to say which is the most attractive - female (above) or male (below).
