Kestrel pair taking a rest, and a scratch before... again making sure there will be the pitter-patter of little baby claws soon

what a honour to witness these two

fog lifted and plenty of decent shots

nice to see the barn owl again at pakenham

not my best shots of the shorties missed the best fly past with out of focus shots

nice to find the little owl again at wattisfield harder now the trees are in leaf and would not have seen it if it had not flew to a different tree

Willington wetlands

This osprey was trying to hunt for fish. Unfortunately for the bird and for us he didn't manage to catch one.

nice and close but head down hunting as usual

Oehoe

Burrowing Owl

The little one was perched for nearly 10 mins in the evening sun, it allowed me to move position and to capture it in a few poses, the is a wild little owl local to me that this year has not been playing ball. thankfully this evening i very much enjoyed its company.

Received a Gold Award in the Societies of Photographers' monthly photo competition January 2023.

Taken at David White's Raptor Hide in Wiltshire.

lucky today at lackford the osprey had not been seen all day but I wandered down to a empty hide not very confident and a pair turned up within 10 mins not the nice blue skies of the weekend but a first for me so a happy man

Going through some old images and came across this previously unedited photo of a male Kestrel taken a few years ago...

went looking for hares but found these nice red kites

So beautiful all splayed out. His feathers were just amazing.

A Barn Owl that flew across my path (thankfully) and proceeded to hunt around me allowing some opportunity for pictures
