Just a couple of a Hobby Falcon taken whilst I was beside a lake in marshland and steadily sinking.

A real beauty of a falcon Andrew, and you obviously had his attention.
And although you claim to be sinking, I don't notice a change in perspective :)
Curious about the name "Hobby" falcon?

Great shots. Is that a dragon fly in front of the falcon in the second photo?

Thanks for the lovely comments chaps - most appreciated.

This is a Falcon, but is called a Hobby here so I titled it "Hobby Falcon" - sorry about the confusion. :-)

And, yes, it does have a Dragonfly in the second image, Evan, well spotted! Here is another shot of it landing on one foot whilst clutching a differing Dragonfly (he wasn't half getting though them).
