Observation details

I was traversing the 2600 ridge north of the lake when suddenly 2 local kestrels started to give alarm calls and a slender-vinged large falcon with dark greater under covers and red tail base - Eleonora's falcon! - flies in from E along the ridge. It did some quick air acrobatics with one of the kestrels and then continued along the ridge and disappeared towards W.
