Everglades Snail Kites are a highly endangered bird in Florida! They are now referred to as Snail Kites and get their name for the fact that they feed almost exclusively on Apple Snails! They are a victim of poor water management, including water quality, high water levels, extremely low water levels. The water that is of extremely poor quality is because of recycling of farm water!
We were luck enough to see these Snail Kites mating on one of our trips to STA 5 in the wonderful early morning light!! As always thanks for looking and we will see you on Thursday!!

An afternoon session at the Rothiemurchus Fishery, Highland, Scotland... No fish but no rings on the legs either!

A pretty rare bird in our country and the males are especially prized by birdwatchers. The Lesser Kestrel is migrant from Mediterranean, Afghanistan and Central Asia and winters in Africa / Pakistan. Few birds - literally a handful that can be counted with the fingers - winter in India.
The males are easier to distinguish from the Common Kestrel due to the easy to spot differences. But the female is hard to spot in the field. The behaviour and flying is similar to the Common Kestrel and in the are we visited, there were half a dozen Kestrels and couple of these males. It was a beautiful bird and I missed getting much better shots as I was exploring another part of the lake where I got nothing.
Many thanks in advance for your views and kind feedback.
Ein Dankeschön an meinen Enkel Ben, der eine Waldohreulen-Gruppe seit zwei Jahren beobachtet und mir mehrere Vögel dieser Art zeigen konnte.
When Charlie stayed with me for two days recently, he enjoyed being outdoors on the roof terrace again. Like Tofu he is an avid birdwatcher but unlike Tofu he would try to catch one if he could. Luckily the birds were too smart, they have probably been trained by Sethi.
ONE of my favourite birds, dazzlingly attractive with a dagger like bill, and a favourite among many British birdwatchers as well.
Seen at Stodmarsh N.R with his next meal. A pleasant day with my Brother Bob, who travelled from the Brighton Area to see her.
