EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this jaw-dropping snapshot captured by FLPA/Robin Chittenden, we witness the incredible aerial acrobatics of a male Lesser Kestrel in Trujillo, Spain. With its majestic wings spread wide, the falcon effortlessly soars through the sky while clutching a wriggling Centipede in its talons. But wait! The action doesn't stop there. This skilled hunter decides to take his dining experience to new heights as he expertly transfers his catch from talons to beak mid-flight. Talk about multitasking! Trujillo's historic Bullring serves as the backdrop for this extraordinary display of nature's prowess. Who would have thought that such an ancient site could become witness to such modern-day marvels? As spring blooms across Extremadura, Spain, these avian daredevils engage in courtship rituals and nest-building adventures amidst medieval churches and urban landscapes. It seems even birds appreciate a touch of architectural grandeur! So next time you're strolling through a European city or exploring North American towns, keep your eyes peeled for these magnificent raptors soaring above. And remember, when it comes to delivering dinner with style and finesse, no one does it quite like our feathered friends!
