A young peregrine falcon fetched a record price of SAR210,000 on the 18th night of this year's Saudi Falcons Club Auction, held between October 1 and November 15 at the club's headquarters in Malham, north of Riyadh.
Starting at SAR50,000, the bidding was intense, ultimately leading to the impressive final sale price, according to SPA.
The Saudi Falcons Club offers a comprehensive range of services to falcon owners throughout the auction period. It provides accommodation and transportation for falconers, and broadcasts auctions on television and social media platforms.
As the Kingdom's largest official falcon auction, the event aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 by promoting the cultural, civilizational, and economic heritage of falconry.
The club aims to elevate the standards of falcon auctions globally, regulate the buying and selling process, and preserve endangered falcon breeds.

Britain's Queen Camilla has pulled out of an event on Friday night as she continues to experience some symptoms of illness after suffering a chest infection earlier this month, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said.

Camilla, 77, was due to attend the Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall in central London with husband King Charles, but he will now go to the charity entertainment show alone, Reuters reported.

"The queen continues to experience some lingering post-viral symptoms, as a result of which doctors have advised that, after a busy week of engagements, Her Majesty should prioritise sufficient rest," the spokesperson said.

A chest infection in the first week of

November

forced Camilla to cancel events for several days, but she had since returned to official duties.
