The town of Opočno, known for its beautiful Renaissance castle, is hosting the 58th edition of its annual International Falconry Meeting. Organized by the Czech Falconry Club, the event draws falconers from across Europe, filling the skies above the castle and surrounding countryside with majestic birds of prey.

A drone circled high above a field outside Opočno in the Hradec Králové Region as onlookers traced its path in the sky.
