…time with two Owls and other wildlife.
Barn Owl.
Barn Owl with a Crow in tow.
They still went hunting.
Meadow Pipit minding its own business
An amorous Meadow Pipit getting the brush off.
Whitethroat.
A Sedge Warbler skulking in the brambles.
Dunnock.
Roe Buck.
Brown Hare.
…and the light was rubbish it was still great to watch at least two (male and female) Barn Owls out hunting the other afternoon. Quite a few Brown Hare were in the field and I managed some rubbish shots of them too.
I think this is the male Barn Owl.
And I think this is the Female.
Buzzard being mobbed by a Crow.
It eventually shook it off.
One of at least half a dozen Brown Hare seen in the
field.
This one standing on its hind legs would not turn around
for me.
Once again, a “nearly” shot.
A small flock of Fieldfare were in the field opposite the
carpark.
…and Crow kept me entertained for ages while I was waiting for a Barn Owl to put in an appearance. This is my last Blog for a while (at least until I can drive again after my knee op) and it is rather a long one because I could not resist taking loads of images, think of it as a video but using still images.
I noticed this Red Kite was carrying something in its
talons.
And the Crows and Jackdaw had also noticed.
It tried to eat whatever it was on the wing
However, it landed in a tree with whatever it was and checked me out
Then proceeded to try and eat again.
The Kite kept checking me out
But seemed to be struggling with what it was eating.
It still tried to eat what look like bones.
Then a Crow tried to join the proceedings.
The Kite was not happy
But still carried on trying to get the bones down.
Not only was it keeping an eye on me
It was also keeping an eye on the Crow which had not
gone away
As it joined the Kite for a second time.
The Kite tried to chase it off
And thought it had succeeded
And carried on eating.
But no, the Crow came back for a third attempt.
This time the Kite dropped the bones
Lightened its load
And took off.
However, the Crow was still not happy about the Kite
being around
And once again attacked it
At this point the Kite looked exasperated.
Eventually the Crows gave up and the Kite was able to
fly around.
