EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a high-flying feast! This Lesser Kestrel is the ultimate multitasker, showcasing its impressive hunting skills while effortlessly soaring through the skies. With a Mole Cricket firmly gripped in its beak, this dashing adult male proves that he's not just a pretty face. Captured mid-flight against the backdrop of Trujillo Bullring's tiled roof, this photo perfectly encapsulates nature's raw beauty and the kestrel's predatory prowess. The vibrant plumage of this Mediterranean bird of prey adds an extra touch of elegance to an already breathtaking scene. As it lands gracefully on the bullring rooftop, one can't help but marvel at the delicate balance between predator and prey in our natural world. This fearless falcon has honed its hunting techniques to perfection, making quick work of unsuspecting insects like the Mole Cricket. Intriguingly enough, this particular species is known for its Asian origins but has found itself right at home in Spain's Extremadura region. It seems that even birds enjoy exploring new territories! So next time you find yourself gazing up at rooftops or attending a bullfighting event (for non-commercial purposes only!), keep your eyes peeled for these magnificent aerial acrobats. They're sure to leave you spellbound with their sky-high dining adventures.
