This morning I woke up to a real treat. Three great egrets stopped in to rest and get a bite to eat from the pond.
Western Marsh Harrier
The Western Marsh Harrier is a large harrier, a bird of prey from temperate and subtropical western Eurasia and adjacent Africa. It is also known as the Eurasian marsh harrier.
The Western Marsh Harrier is 43 to 54 cm in length, has a wingspan of 115 to 130 cm and a weight of 400 to 650 g in males and 500 to 800 g in females. It is a large, bulky harrier with fairly broad wings, and has a strong and peculiar sexual dichromatism. The male's plumage is mostly a cryptic reddish-brown with lighter yellowish streaks, which are particularly prominent on the breast. The head and shoulders are mostly pale greyish-yellowish.

I watched this busy little egret hunting for its dinner. It came up with a variety of insects, spiders and frogs.

THE FIRST SHOT OF A SERIES of images of a lioness in the late afternoon in Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa.
She had left the other lionesses of her pride and was was slowly walking while listening and looking in all directions.
We also could hear some wildebeest not too far away and she started to look intently in that direction.
Unfortunately for us the vegetation in that area looked quite dense so I was afraid that there would be no photo opportunities.....

Hunting Trot - Male Bobcat trotting to his hunting patch to hunt for Botta's Pocket Gophers (Thomomys bottae). My last Bobcat sighting was on 2/24/23, so I've been combing the archives lately. I try to mix up birds, mammals, and reptiles (just recently started) but have really been missing photographing this species. The way they move is so unique and I love their patterns and stunning eyes.
Species: Bobcat (Lynx rufus)
Location: Northern California, CA, USA
Equipment: Canon EOS R5 + EF 100-400mm IS
Settings: 1/800s, ISO: 500, f/5.6 @400mm, Handheld, Electronic Shutter
A strategically planned family weekend led to Orgéo, along the beautiful Athus-Meuse line. We stayed at walking distance from the famous spot. After careful investigation of the hunting planning, I concluded it to be safe to go out shooting myself. Subject was the container shuttle connecting Antwerp and the TCA terminal in Athus. In very soft autumn light, 186 123 and 186 215 lead a southbound train. It was one of the few trains to be seen on the line during this quiet armistice weekend.

Damselflies only fly through the air for part of their lives. They spend the rest under water, as larvae, hunting everything smaller and even smaller conspecifics. Such a damselfly larva already resembles an adult damselfly: the head, the elongated shape and when they grow they get a beginning of wings on their back after a few moults. They move in a wobbling way, a bit like a snake. a drawing of such a larva
This Green Heron hung out on my backyard fence for about a week successfully catching lizards instead of hunting fish by the lakeside.
Wish you all an awesome sunday! Take care!!

A Northern Shrike perched high on a sunny spot ever watching carefully for unsuspecting prey.
If you didn't know what a Northern Shrike was, you may think it is a cute, medium-sized song bird. The Northern Shrike is in fact a small, fierce hunter cloaked in grey, black and white plumage.
Shrikes hunt voles, small songbirds and large insects. They hunt from perches, descending upon prey and then use their strongly hooked bill to sever the spinal cord between the neck and head.
Shrikes are know to keep a cache of food, impaling birds, voles and insects o branches, barbed wire or thorns. This unique way of storing food is why Northern Shrikes are also called by some "butcher birds".
