A fair distance away on a misty morning but nice to see the Cattle Egret in amongst the Highland Cattle.
Aggressive behaviour at the lake between the grebes. The dominant one tried to drown the other one, holding it under the water while it struggled frantically to escape. In the finish it did get away, very much doubt it will go into that territory again.
Used the flip down screen for these shots, a little awkward to say the least but using the spirit level and centre spot focus I managed to bag a few shots.
Black kite uses fire by Su_G': entry in Spoonflower's 'Birds of Prey Wallpaper' Design Challenge. © Su Schaefer 2023
My design features the Black Kite, a tool-using Australian bird that spreads fire to hunt prey. Aboriginal traditions, across multiple groups in different areas, portray birds of prey as animals which carry fire… and field research has now confirmed this for black kite, brown falcon. Some say people learned from birds. For more, see sevenages.org/environmental-issues/birds-of-prey-in-austr...

Sorry that the new voting system still (sigh) has bugs... www.spoonflower.com/design-challenge/Birds of Prey Wallpaper is the link for voting - generally open for one week only.
BUT be warned! There are about 950 entries, some of which are not very visible in the low quality rendered wallpaper mockups (those actual designs I checked are of much higher quality).
If you do feel reckless and decide for the "new and exciting" voting experience please let me have some quotable quotes re what worked and what didn't so I can pass them on to Spoonflower. Thank you! :-)
But I understand if that's too much.

Last year Sam was diagnosed with a heart murmur and with a change of diet and some behaviour modifications he has done fine. A few weeks ago we noticed his stamina had dropped and he seemed to be tired more than usual. I took him to the vet last week and it turns out he now has an arrhythmia. Tomorrow morning he goes in for X-rays, an ultrasound and bloodwork. He is only nine which isn't too old for a dog his size. We can't imagine life without our sweet little guy. I'll keep you apprised and we hope for the best.

Over-sized Juvenile feet still appear chicken-like - while parent bird shows fully developed lobed features
