A young Saker Falcon (Falco Cherrug), looking at me looking at him
They're very large as adults, up to 47-55 cm high with a wingspan of 105-129 cm.
Saker Falcon's are the national bird of Hungary and known as Turul in Hungarian mythology; a mythological bird and messenger of god, who sits on top of the tree of life along with the other spirits of unborn children.
Unfortunately the species’ global population has undergone a rapid decline particularly in area of its central Asian breeding grounds. Following this decline its Red List status was upgraded to Endangered in 2004.
An assessment by Birdlife International and the IUCN concluded that the Saker Falcon faces a very high risk of extinction in the wild and Birdlife International estimates that the global Saker Falcon population has undergone a decline of between 53-75% over three generations (15 years) with an estimated global population of only 3,600 to 4,000 pairs remaining in 2006.
Please don't hesitate to comment on what you like (or dislike) about the picture, any feedback is appreciated. Don't worry though, I won't kill you if you fav+run.
Thanks,

I really like this. I only wanted to add a comment to say that I feel like when I look into his eyes I end up thinking about what he could be thinking about. Very well done.
