It seems that lookouts is very popular in Western Sahara. These two birds used the same spot only minutes apart. I think we were lucky to see the falcon though. When I searched for a video it turned out to be no wild ones filmed. Only videos from training camps. :(

We spotted the pair from the bus and made the driver step hard on the brake. Everyone shouted STOP!
This is a very beautiful red headed falcon. It was very hard to get shots of it. We was not close them and it was hot so thereas heat shimmer in the air. Still I manage to get something. Acc to our tour guide it was probably one adult and one juvenile.
