Wild owl at Lunt village

The northern goshawk is capable of considerable, sustained, horizontal speed in pursuit of prey with speeds of 38 mph (61 km/h) reported. ... Kills are normally consumed on the ground by juvenile or non-breeding goshawks (more rarely an elevated perch or old nest) or taken to a low perch by breeding goshawks.

Great Horned Owlet

A bird that clogged my photostream for many years. However lockdown has meant sightings this year have been fewer.

This bird is no longer in situ sadly but there is one pair actually now on my doorstep. Sadly the only time i have seen them so far was whilst walking the dogs and without the camera.

Time for a bit of preening.

Thank you to all who fave or comment on my photos it is much appreciated.

I'm not a great lover of photographing captive birds but as I have never seen one in the wild I thought I would make the most of the opportunity.

Delighted to see this Bald eagle fly over as we walked along the board walk.

Last weekend, we explored a new location in a new forest - one that is so promising. The location had an old temple surrounded by forest and streams. And there was a water tower that stands at the height of the trees in the forest. So we climbed up, praying that the steps dont give away and managed to the top safely. And there it was, sitting peacefully and staring back!

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.

This was my first trip to Blackwater NWR and I was not disappointed. Plenty of birds presenting themselves in wonderful photo opportunities. Saw a good number of bald eagles who were beginning to pair up in preparation of the upcoming mating season.

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