Who could say from this picture️ that fearless birds like Ospreys 🐦can also fall prey?

Pygmy Owl

a barn owl

not so many about today but you only need one flying around in front of you

Glad I wasn't a mouse or a rabbit.

Montagu’s harrier - Albanella minore - Circus pygargus

A familiar sight with its pointed wings and long tail, hovering beside a roadside verge. Numbers of kestrels declined in the 1970s, probably as a result of changes in farming and so it is included on the Amber List. They have adapted readily to man-made environments and can survive right in the centre of cities.

Feeding time

Last one of four starring Meeney the kestrel.

Sitting in a fishing boat, it is a great pleasure to watch eagles and kites pouncing on the fishermen's by-catch... Good to know that these by-catch, wich is useless for the fishermen, also contributes to the conservation of these beautiful birds.

fog lifted and plenty of decent shots

nice to see the barn owl again at pakenham

We expected to find a Peregrine Falcon in this particular tree, but when we got there, we found this Merlin, instead.

Snowy Owl

The Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) is a large, white owl of the typical owl family. Snowy Owls are native to Arctic regions in North America and Eurasia. Younger Snowy Owls start with darker plumage, which turns lighter as they get older. Males are almost all white, while females have more flecks of gray plumage.

a shot at distance but a lovely light buzzard

nice and close but head down hunting as usual

Burrowing Owl

I must admit I thought this was something different as it few close to the ground then up in the tree it seemed so dark but I think its just another kestrel

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