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.

UK Travel Disrupted as Storm Bert Fallout Continues

Britain's roads and railways were hit by closures on Monday after Storm Bert battered the country over the weekend, causing widespread flooding and killing four people.

There were more than 200 flood warnings and flood alerts in place across England and Wales, while trains from London to the southwest were cancelled and rail services in central England were severely disrupted.

"Do not attempt to travel on any route today," Great Western Railway, whose trains connect London to Bristol and Cornwall, said on X.

Among those killed during the storm were a dog walker in North Wales and a man who died when a tree hit his car in southern England.

Major roads in Northamptonshire and Bristol were closed, while fallen trees on rail lines cut off services between London and Stansted Airport, Britain's fourth busiest hub.

The disruption comes after Storm Bert hit Britain late on Friday, bringing snow, rain and strong winds.

The Met Office kept a warning for strong winds in place for northern Scotland on Monday and said the storm would clear from that part of the country early on Tuesday.
