It was amazing to watch this Merlin pursuing a Goldfinch a couple of weeks ago: I was rather lucky to capture this shot as the raptor dived in for a killer blow, but missed the lucky finch by a gnat's whisker!

Just back from Safari(darkest Wiltshire Longleat Safari Park first time visit absolutely great didn't know what to expect at the park totally impressed by it all to see the animal's having space to live and roam.

Lions are very sociable and related females live together as a pride.Different males take over the pride at different times.When lions live together as a group this has many advantages;they can hunt together as a team and are able to bring down large prey.The females often have their babies at the same time, allowing the cubs to feed from any of the lionesses.Longleat has about 25 lions in the park.

Yellowfin tuna flank a female great white shark off the coast of Mexico's Isla de Guadalupe. While the tuna are a preferred prey item of the shark, their speed and maneuverability allow them to keep a safe distance from their predator. The sharks have to rely on stealth in order to ambush attach the speedy prey.

 

While it's not uncommon to see yellowfin tuna at Guadalupe, they seem far more abundant around the island in the past couple of years. I'm not sure it's a result of El Nino effects or not, but I definitely saw noticeably more tuna around the sharks than usual on this trip.

Beautiful Red Kite in full swoop mode.

The alligator went after the otter but it got out of there just in time.

Being under the influence of this universe, I finally realized that I can try to make his head without the mask, like I did.

Coyote on the Prairie

A predator with his trophy passed us this morning while we volunteers had tea and coffee. Poor mouse!

hanging around, the male is on the left while smaller female is on the right, mating season. This was taken shortly after finding them feeding on road kill.

A bald eagle flies over a colony of common murr's, looking for lunch.

They don’t look very intimidating at this stage and are not likely to strike fear into the hearts of anything that they encounter, but they can eventually grow to be as large as the couple of alligators in an earlier post. Their mortality rate is quite high, and the odds are not in their favor as numerous predators will gobble them up, including some of the larger fish that inhabit the bayou. Some of these might be siblings, but there are two different sizes in this photo, and they likely come from two different nests. These little ones are between 18 and 24 inches long. Good luck to these little lizards. Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou in Alligator Alley.

Happy Thursday to all my Flickr Friends!!

 

Thanks for all the comments, faves and views on my Photostream!!

 

Dragonflies have a life span of anywhere from about six months to several years. Most of the dragonfly life span is spent in the water as a nymph. During this period, which can last up to a couple of years, it sheds its skin many times. Finally it crawls onto land to break out of its skin as a full fledged dragonfly.

We are happy to be part of this MOM round, starting on the 20th of April.

Thanks to all those who pass here, thank you for your visit and kind words ♥

  

I happened upon this guy by chance while out shooting one day. He was so intent on hunting for food that he let me get much closer to him than I normally would have been able to. As you can see, we were both successful that day!

Many thanks for yours visits and comments.

It pains my heart to see one of our most iconic wild birds (California Thrasher) in the mouth of a domestic cat. PLEASE, PLEASE keep pet cats indoors. Outdoor cats kill approximately 2.4 billion birds every year. Predation by domestic cats is the number-one direct, human-caused threat to birds in the United States. The BirdsBeSafe collar for cats is a good solution to the problem If you still feel you must let your cat outdoors.

This ominous looking predator was checking out my hot banana pepper plant.

It was a great day for the owl and I but a really bad day for the mouse!....these guys are so cool to watch while they're hunting!

So this was quite a bit of work. I shot a couple of frames, aiming to get detail from "inside" its mouth I could later use with stacking. Initially, I went with 7 shots but noticed a magical leg was created in the process. So I reduced to 4 frames, that were essentially showing what I wanted.

 

Still, it took some retouching of minor errors resulting from the stacking process.

California King Snake

Carrizo Plain

These snakes are immune to rattlesnake venom so are one of their predators. They kill by constriction, not venom.

Synaema globosum

Great Blue Heron attacking a Muscovy duck and her babies. The mother is aggressively resisting the attack to protect the ducklings. When I first photographed the ducklings two weeks ago there were 12, yesterday there were only 8 left. Pompano Beach, Florida.
