One of two Lanner falcons that fly in the Birds of the World display at Whipsnade.
A truly impressive predator, just look at those eyes! No wonder that it was seen as a sacred species to the ancient Egyptians.
 
@Dr. Loxodonta yes really lovely birds and great to see them on the lure - they fly one of them up in advance of the display in one of the slots so you can see it stoop from a huge distance.
