This Sparrowhawk tried twice to catch a Magpie that was feeding in front of the hide and twice it failed. |
It then tried its luck with a Woodpigeon and again failed |

Same bird but this time in shadow |
This time with a fish in dappled light |
I managed one shot when it was hovering but it’s hovering with its back to the camera |
I don’t think I have ever seen this type of behaviour from Moorhen. |
There seems to be some mutual grooming going on |
Then they looked into each other’s eyes |
Heron coming into land on the pond |
Catching fish |
There were a few Pheasants around. I just love the colours of these birds |
Not sharp but I like the shape of the bird in flight |

Lovely images Ron. I think the Sparrowhawk ones are actually helped by the foliage, especially the 2nd and 4th images.
ReplyDeleteThanks Frank I think you’re right the shadows do seem to add something to those shots.
