It's time for SkyWatch again! Where did the week go? Every once in a while you post a bird that looks like one of ours. We have the American Kestral that looks like this beautiful little falcon(et).
Stunning shot, Tabib! Almost reminds me of our American Kestrel.
What a fantastic photo!
He's posing for you. Great job in snapping him.
Great photo! What a beautiful bird...
Great shot of a magnificent bird. We do not have such a colorful one in Iceland, only the gyr falcon and the merlin are around.
Nice one. I wish I could photograph bird as well but I don't have good equipment for capturing bird photos.
What kinds of lenses do you use?
Thanks,
DSM

Lovely shot! The bird is so beautiful and the sky is so clear..

This is a great Sky Watch and a great blog also. One thing I like about doing memes is that once in a while I come across something that make me sit up and take notice.. this is sure one of them times. I just know I will be back here.
