Observation details
Shaheen Falcon - seen gliding in the distance over the partly dry reservoir; it suddenly twisted, turned and stooped almost vertically after a small bird below. The falcon missed in its first dive, short up and stooped after it and missed again. It let the quarry go and slowly circled and vanished behind a hill. The longer tail indicated that it was a juvenile bird. The bird it was chasing was a swallow (Red-rumped/Barn) - only ascertained after looking at the pictures.
