Fun Facts

The bald eagle has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782. It was chosen for its majestic appearance and representation of freedom and strength.

When it comes to sight, eagles have two centers of focus. This gives them the ability to see forward and to the side simultaneously.

Leighton Moss RSPB Grizedale Hide

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.

Great Horned Owlet

While exploring a new area, found this beautiful jungle owlet sitting quietly in a tree branch and staring back at us. There were 2-3 of them in the area calling out loudly but this is the only one we sighted.

This is a common resident Owlet found in forests across the country. They can be often heard during morning / evenings in the forests, but they are kind of active during the day too. The birds are quite predatory in the night and hence the calls attract a variety of birds that gang up and chase the owlets away.

The Owlet moved several times and sat quietly in some trees - often close to us, but they move so stealthily that we couldn't trace them. But thanks to the Bulbuls and other small birds that were continually harassing these owlets, we sighted them again and again.

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

Osprey showing off in Scotland

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…
