Osprey in the sky

Kestrel Porbury Wharf Reserve

Greater numbers of Short-eared Owls this year leaving some to speculate that it is due to loss of habitat in nearby areas. While competing for food supply, the Norther Harrier will harass the owl until it drops its prey and then scoops it up.

This wild bird of prey spent around twenty minutes in the garden. I'm fortunate in that raptors are fairly frequent visitors here.

Marvellous encounter nearby Paris. Really made my day :)

a shot that I have been after for a while showing motion in the blurred wings

This was my first look at one of these magnificent creatures. What a moment.

I think we all have bogey birds and this mine I have had them land close and they have gone before I can react or someone walks in the hide just as they land so believe it or not this is my first shot not great but maybe a start
