Falco tinnunculus in the city

Great shots, even in an unusual enviroment!
How did You manage to use a big white in the city? Most people don't expect a wildlife shooter there!

Well done! Those Little Ringed Plovers move very fast.

In Germany you have two species of Ringed Plovers: the rare Common Ringed and the more often Little Ringed. The first one has yellow bill with black tip in the breeding plumage. The Little ringed has a mostly black bill in all seasons/plumage. That yellow ring around the eyes is prominent for the Little Ringed and present (but very thin!) in the Common Ringed only in the breeding plumage and only on the males. As Alan says these are difficult to catch in flight!
