Birds of Prey....Your Pictures Wanted!

They are in the local valley rather than my garden... I should be so lucky :)

That's a lovely photo of the Little Owl ILR.... thank you for sharing with us

Love the photo of the little owl, it looks very serious ...

Thankyou Tigerss pleased you liked it

Thanks BD glad you liked it.

A well known place to find Tawny owls or Barn owls on the Manor farm restoration.  Well know that is to everyone but me. I was told about it last week, and as luck would have it, found it this week; only I forgot my monopod!!! Argh!!! Hand held photo, finding owl in between a lot of foliage. Yes, it is sitting in a nest box.

Cropping out

This beauty was just north of the Blackwater footpath on the Manor farm restoration, about 30 yards from me. Touching distance! Unfortunately, there was a tree between us. More threading of the eye of a needle as I reeled of a few shots. All images cropped. It flew off, lazily, and I kept clicking for as long as possible. Lazy flying or not they can go at some pace.

Off it flew, keeping its beady eye on me.

Stunning photos Angus! Such beautiful detail and you got that lovely blue sky for background! Kestrels are gorgeous birds and you have caught this one brilliantly..... well done and thanks for sharing with us

Thank you, Tigerss. I got really lucky. I think the Kestrel was unaware I was present due to the tree between us, and the fact it was definitely hunting something i.e. it stooped once. The tree was both a blessing and a curse.
