Headline: COVER IMAGES CHOOSE BEST PICTURES OF THE YEAR: Doctor Captures Amazing Footage/Pictures of Falcon Checking Out His Drone

Caption: Children’s doctor, Dr. Evgeniy Komarovskiy captured the stunning scenes when a falcon became interested in his drone flying over Ukraine’s Dnieper River in the Cherkasy Oblast region this month (September). Dr Komarovskiy explains: “A wonderful predator was interested in my drone. How special that its pose fit in the frame so to have a beautiful view behind.” At first not able to identify the inquisitive predator, Dr Komarovsky explains: “A consensus of ornithologists has come to the conclusion that we have before us a young falcon, Falco subbuteo, a small (dove-sized) bird of prey. By the way, it is a migratory bird, very soon it will fly away from us to Africa.” The Doctor says he arrived to fish, but "such a bird photoshoot is cooler than any fish!”
