Eleonora's Falcon
Photo 1 - Drama while hunting:
An extraordinary observation of a group of Eleonora's falcons hunting a migrating pigeon. While the pigeon has escaped (upper right corner), three Eleonora's falcons have their claws caught with eachother. They start falling towards the sea (low left corner of the photo) without being able to disentagle!
