Gyrfalcon? Nice block.

 

[Marck]

Very nice Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolous), Sheal. I remember when you posted that on the 'Birds' thread, from your visit to Dunrobin Castle.

 

[Oliver Buckle]

The largest of the falcons. I am told that they are not so great to hunt with,. Rather than standing on and stooping, like a peregrine, they tend to chase their prey so you can end up following them for miles.

 

[Esther Knapicius]

congrats.

 

[Don't Give a Puff]

Congratulations, that is one majestic falcon.

Wow, nice pic!

 

[Sheal]

Thank you everyone! Yes, I confirm it's a Gyrfalcon and probably the prettiest of the falcons.
