That's pretty unusual. Ordinarily you wouldn't find a falcon in a Eucalyptus tree as they know the trees are inherently unsafe.

I see this is an older mated falcon as one of its offspring can be plainly seen. It appears to be ready to "leaf".

Ahh, the elusive quad doored albino falcon. I heard they tire easily and perch wherever they can.

I am trying to understand the position of the steering wheel. From this shot the steering column appears to be more towards the right hand side. It is pushed over or possibly a right hand drive? Perhaps it is just pushed back......I am just curious.

Eucalyptus = Australia probably.

You know the way those Aussies drive. You've seen the "Mad Max" movies, aint'cha?

Isn't anybody going to mention the Ford Raptor? I figured it would have been the second or third post. You guys need more caffeine.

Smile I am a bird watcher, but..

Don't care about falcons, I am on the lookout for a beautiful double-breasted bed thrasher.

Yes that is an Australian pic. The local indigenous tribe call it a tree house.
