Osprey

My first time seeing it this year. It appeared after 11:00, the usual time but the lighting at that time does not hit it underneath.

Red-tailed Hawk

It was about to dive down for a vole. Notice the two adult tail feathers.

Quite a character...she took a huff and decided she didnt want to display for a while...

This was my first sighting of a Red-shouldered Hawk which was lovely to see. Its just a shame it was sitting on top of a swimming pool cage alongside one of the holes at Kissimmee Bay Golf Club.

I had the barn owl hovering right in front of me it certainly gave me a lot of shots to sort out

I made a visit to the Gwash Trout Farm Osprey hide at Rutland this morning leaving home at 2 am for a 4 am start so a real early one. Its a great set up but unfortunately we only had one visit from Osprey 28 so photographically it was a bit disappointing given the lack of action/visits. We did however have a real treat with some squabbling male Kingfishers right in front of the hide throughout the morning which relieved the boredom a tad.

El Taray , Spain

Scotland

A large migratory Falcon from Central Europe / Mongolia that is a partial migrant - meaning some part of the population is migrant. They are irregular and extremely rare visitors to India and per our guide, the last sighting was 2 years ago.

This falcon looked a bit bigger than a Peregrine Falcon and a bit bulkier too. We sighted it hunting in the scrubalnds and even fighting with another falcon (Laggar Falcon). The bird hunts smaller insects, birds and mostly the desert rodents known as Jird locally or Jerbill in English - these rodents are present in good numbers in the desert.

The IUCN status of this bird is sadly endangered and ebird lists the status as sensitive. The bird is quite popular in wild life trade especially in Middle East.

Many thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback - very much appreciated.

Great horned owlets

nice to find another barn owl nesting in a natural hole last night

not so many about today but you only need one flying around in front of you

Northern harrier

A large resident owl endemic to the subcontinent and found around thick woody areas in the countryside and forests close to lakes. This is a true nocturnal owl active at nights and often hard to sight in the day. It sits quietly in the canopy making it hard to see it and we often rely on the ruckus created by birds like Bulbuls, Drongoes and Bee Eaters and determine an owl is around. We sighted this bird on this day after we saw several Drongoes dive bombing and Red Vented bulbuls creating a scene. It was a terribly foggy day and maybe that is why the bird was still awake.

The Owl flew from one tree to another large tree and the Drongoes - 2-3 of them repeatedly tried to peck the head of the Owl and landed on it. The Owl is not an agile flyer, and found itself challenged by the Drongo. It then landed on nearby trees and bore the Drongoes harassment. A few minutes later, the Owl flew back and disappeared into the canopy, while the Drongoes went about their business!

Thank you so much in advance for your views, faves and feedback. Much appreciated.

Taken at Somerset Wildlife Hides near Montacute, UK.

Despite being the commonest and most widespread UK bird of prey, it was still a priviIege and thrill to get so close to this wild bird.

I had to fire shots off one at a time or in small bursts as the shutter noise was distracting this buzzard from devouring its pigeon.

It is quite large with broad, rounded wings, and a short neck and tail. When gliding and soaring it will often hold its wings in a shallow 'V' and the tail is fanned. Birds are variable in colour from all dark brown to much paler variations, all have dark wingtips and a finely barred tail. Their plaintive mewing call could be mistaken for a cat.
