a young cheetah on the hunt. we were watching the female and two almost grown up cubs for quite some time when we noticed a lone sprinbock approaching. Knewing they will go for it we positioned ourselves in the best angle to shoot. But it all went different. They spotted another springbock with a calf behind us and were hunting for that one so our position wasn't perfect for that hunt but i was lucky enough to get the beginning of the hunt.

Same Sparrowhawk, different pose.
Thanks to those who advised me that this is a one year old male, just starting to moult into his adult feathers. you can see some of the the grey-blue feathers mixed in with the brown.
I was amazed watching him as it fixed on to noises in the trees and undergrowth. What an incredible bird. My daughter says she has seen this a few times when she has been in the house during the day.
This was taken the day before I took the other 3 shots. It was out hunting.
Always reminded me of a painting.
Something about those old stumps.
Sunny and warm day!
Davide goes on hunting expedition!

While I looked for snakes and the rain lashed down, Moltrecht's treefrogs (Rhacophorus moltrechti) happily serenaded each other about me. Whenever I'm struggling to find a snake, it's good to investigate a couple of old plastic tubs where they breed, as there's often a viper or two looking for supper here. This is the even more common green bamboo tree viper (Viridovipera stejnegeri).

Quite a bit of action last night with 3 owls out hunting at the same time so very hard to whittle out these from the loads I took. Excuse some the noise but some are at ISO12,800.
Although not the same Heron in this sequence, it was most interesting watching this Heron hunting on Tealham Moor, Somerset. Later on West Sedge Moor I saw another Heron carrying what might be a large Water Vole or possibly a Rat. Just after taken this, the Vole was dropped!
I took this shot from top of my boat, when we were going to Paradise Island - Cape Maclear, Malawi lake - one of very big lakes in Africa (600km longest x 80km widest).
Yes, this photo is actually in the newspaper. It goes with an opinion piece about job hunting. Maybe it's just funny to us...
Wonderfull Bohemian engraved red on amber Egermann glass. Hunting scenes on three panels with Game bird, Leaping Stag and upright Stag. Three slice cuts seperating scenes with scalloped lip and base. The engraving of the bird and deer is quite deeply cut into the amber glass.
The Red flash surface is cut through by engraving to reveal the amber glass beneath. Mint condition, looks to have been stored and not used..
Not seen one like this despite combing the web, anyone know about this beaker? Though similar glasses are around, not found one like this. Rather scarce I think.
Taking lens Fujinon 55mm f1.8 M42.
The mosaic, which probably once decorated a portico, depicts wild animal capture for circus games, and wild-boar hunting.
The mosaic is arranged in three different hunting scenes interrupted by outlined landscapes. The first two scenes, overlapping without any prospective concern, show some hunters on foot pursuing animals. They wear short tunics with cloaks and boots that protect their legs up to the knee. The hunted animals are rendered with great visual efficacy: they are antelopes and gazelles, in the upper scene, and bears in the lower one. All the moments of the capture are described: the beginning of the hunt, the pursuit of the animals, the help of dogs to push them in the desired direction and their capture by means of cages or nets tied to the trees.
In the third scene a character on horseback pierces a boar with his spear. His clothing denotes the high rank of the horseman, and the short beard makes it similar to a philosopher or a scholar. This portrayal depicts certainly a “vir clarissimus”, member of the senatorial class, and the scene qualifies this character both as an intellectual as a man of action.

This Great Blue Heron and several friends was hunting in a farm field. The Great Blue Herons eat rodents along with fish and even some small birds.
These limpkins were hunting for apple snails in the marsh at Pine Glades Natural Area near Jupiter, Florida. See this, and more, on my website at www.tom-claud.pixels.com.
Gray Ghost Hunting

Northern Harriers abound on the endless grassy plains of the Arizona south. I cannot remember a day since we moved here that we have not seen three of four coursing across the tops of the fields in an adroitly acrobatic high-speed search for their next meal. It is one of nature's most exciting and engaging shows.
With all those harriers at work, it is still rare to see an elusive Gray Ghost, or mature male, bird. Females and immature Harriers which are brown on top are plentiful and easily witnessed, but the males stay scarce. Which is why we were surprised to see two Gray Ghosts in the pastures on the outskirts of Elgin yesterday morning. While one worked for its meal, the other watched attentively and serenely from a perch nearby. Add to the scene a beautiful, but distantly perched Prarie Falcon and you can begin to get a sense of why this land of the "Old West" mythos is so extraordinary.
