Brown Hare & Red Kites

 A couple of days out last week and there were Red Kites at Burdon Moor and Brown Hare locally. 

Red Kite at Burdon Moor one of two.


A coming together. 

I could be wrong, but I saw them both with what could be nesting material.

Feeling a bit frisky.

I thought I was in for a little boxing




But she could not be bothered

So, he just sat and watched her.

Four Raptor Afternoon

 Another visit to Burdon Moor a few days ago. The Buzzards and a Red Kite were always distant however a pair of Kestrel showed well and there was a brief visit from a Barn Owl just as the sun set.

One of two Buzzards.

Little Owl & Roe Deer

 The Little Owl was a bit distant at first, but it did eventually come a bit closer. At least six Roe Deer were in a couple of fields.
