Notes:

Having circled the aircraft several times, nearly flown into the engine and caught the First Officer's attention, this bird of prey has decided to perch on the top of the fuselage! The aircraft was instructed to hold and waited for about 5 minutes to depart until the bird got bored and took off to the beach [400D]

Hahaha, very good. Interesting catch Dan!

Nice lucky shot, Daniel. I wish the airport falconer's tame Saker Falcon had pulled a similar trick while I was there. I can just see the jess on the falcon's tarsus!
