Birds of prey are fascinating and majestic animals. They can generally be defined as birds that feed on animals that they catch alive. Representatives of these two orders can be found almost everywhere in the world. Although these groups are distantly related, the behavioural and anatomical characteristics they share appear to be mainly the result of parallel evolution.

Wild owl at Lunt village

Das erste Mal in meinem Leben, dass ich so nah an einem Greifvogel war und dann auch noch eine seltene Rohrweihe.

 

Watched this little fella hunting along the Humber Estuary bank a few weeks back .. relentless 🐁

The Osprey 🐦 in this picture ️ is a male bird carrying food… It would’ve been interesting to know, if this was for mating or just simple eating purposes… What do you think? 🤔 comments down below…

A snowy owl taken in Rhode Island, USA.

Sorry for the low resolution/quality, wish I had a longer lens during afternoon walk today with me. Highly cropped and from far away, but wanted to share this action shot. Hoping someone identifies it...

the little owl let me take a couple of shots before flying off tonight

Need to get out a little bit more lately - just too busy. Here is one from the archives....June 27th 2021 at the Ravines.

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

after having two previous attempts at the barn owl at lopham in lovely sunshine with no joy something made me go today in the rain I guess I was hoping it was going to stop for a while but it did not so I was surprised to see the barn owl out and managed to get close at times with a little field craft

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.

It's taken a while this year but I finally managed to get a couple of reasonably close encounters with these magnificent birds yesterday :-)

pleased with this one

Back to the Osprey images from late June in the Cairngorms - well worth getting up at 3am and well worth visiting this area. It's beautiful...
