A NZ falcon wondering whether he can eat me (probably). As one of only three birds of prey native to Aotearoa, the New Zealand falcon is known internationally as the bravest and most aggressive of the falcon species, even defending their nests against humans by raking their talons across the heads of unsuspecting intruders! Luckily a stoat biding under a log had distracted this one and directed his focus to a more viable lunch option. . . . #newzealandbirds #newzealandbirdsnative #nzfalcon #birdsofprey #canonphotography #canon5dmarkiv #wildlifephotography #bird #birds #talons #hunting #newzealand #newzealndwildlife #natgeowild #natgeoyourshot #twitcher #birdsofinstagram #mountcooknationalpark #tasmanglacier (at Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Tm-VQnNH_/?igshid=mqa1545dw2lz
