19.11.23 and a morning walk around Burdon Moor in the hope of getting images of Fieldfare and it was thanks to a fly over Peregrine that I did. I’d seen some Crows mobbing what I thought was a Kestrel but the Crows don’t normally mob Kestrels so I thought Sparrowhawk but when they came closer, I realised it was a Peregrine (a first for me at Burdon Moor). As the Peregrine flew over a hedge a mixed flock of dozens of Fieldfare, Redwing and Starling flew up. Some of the Fieldfare landed in a tree not far from me and I managed to get some images.
Peregrine Falcon.
Fieldfare.
Another bird that was being mobbed by the crows was
this Red Kite.
I was nearly at the bottom of the loop when the Kite
landed on a post beyond the top of the loop and started to eat something.
I walked back up taking pictures as I went.
Unfortunately, I could not get close enough to see
what it was eating (the images of the Kites are nearly a 100% crop from the
original).
When it was finished eating the Kite flew off.
The Stonechats (two females) unfortunately weren’t as approachable
as they were the last time I was there.
This Buzzard was also being mobbed by the Crows.
A couple of Roe Deer.
