Badly timed photo of the wife

Sat in an outdoor restaurant in a Funchal mall, I went to take a photo of the wife. This is what I caught!



In fairness to her, this had just swooped low overhead:





The mall pay for the handler to spend hours there using the bird to keep the pigeons away, but it seems to have developed a liking for scaring the people too as we saw it fly low over people quite often.

To be fair, this is what I was aiming for:


And the obligatory food and watch shot:

Also, the sun popping through the clouds in the reflection is pretty wild!

Both great pictures (although, knowing my wife, your's is probably not pleased with the 1st one). Nice shot of watch too :-)

Amazing that they use the falcon for pigeon scaring at a mall... Sure makes for a more interesting lunch.

Nice pics, even the lovely first one, and Omega time piece.
