This photograph of a Saker falcon (Falco cherrug), was taken at 12:17pm on Tuesday 24th May 2016 near Victoria in British Columbia, Canada.
Saker falcons (Falco cherrug) are a large species of falcon, found breeding in Central Europe, Asia and Manchuria. It is a largely migratory bird and a powerful raptor (bird of prey) which is now classed as on the endangered species list thanks to mankind encroaching on it’s land, and illegal trapping.
