Two New Year Wishes ... firstly that Mr K visits tomorrow to start our year off right!
... secondly that a beautiful female appears to sweep Mr K off his feet & into that nest hole!

Aitch, CL, Nige ... He'll show you how it's done tomorrow!!
Haven't forgotten but seriously hampered by power cut for hours now!!
Soooooo ... this is how Mr K does it (shame about b*m view!)
Was going to put this on BU thread but site is so painfully slow that I'll leave it here
Eeeyukkk, at least he had the sense to spit it out and finish the last part in smaller pieces. Where did the second rat come from or was that still some of the first left on the pole?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Well I never, did you ever ! that looked like one large rat - you could see Mr K's crop expanding as he relished that meal; he managed to swallow that tail again and made sure we didn't miss out on his after lunch nail manicure at the end or indeed his poop - he never fails to thrill us with his gory routine lol

That's me boy!!!!!! He is looking so handsome and I am sure having a full crop like that will be attracting the attention of any female in the area.
Lot to learn
Thanks all ... it seems Mr K can't stay away for long these days ... on cliff face yesterday preening in the sun for quite some time (longish vid just for the record) ... didn't so much fly off but sidle out of view! Lol
Slightly whizzed up vid to study all his movements

post edit: all good, viewing it now !! love it when he does those wing and tail stretches, he's a handsome boy.

Just what or rather who you need to see on a lovely sunny morning!
