Dear Hendirx,

The "Falcon" that you show may not be a falcon at all. It might be a rare seabird. Do you have a better picture of the bird?

Black-napeds are really agressive and united, even the Peregrine Falcon can't bully them!

They have also been seen to drive away Black Kites, Great Egrets and Black Drongos. If you stay too close to their colony, they will come out and complain loudly.

Thanks Hendrix! Sometimes an out-of-focus photo can still be very useful for our study. :D

(Not to mention that my shots are always fuzzy :P)
