Goshawk calling

[Ceejay]

Had planned trip yesterday to hopefully see Spotted Crake, a quick looksee from the hide before I left. Heard a screeching type noise and this appeared. Have seen them (about four) in the treetops in woods previously but never down low. Never did get to see the Crake.

Cracking Goshawk image, love these birds but never got near enough as yet.

 

[lammie]

Cracking image and lucky you to get one so close.

 

[Ceejay]

Thanks all for your comments, and yes I count myself very lucky in this case.
As to the quarry maybe this will help.

Some great captures Ceejay

 

[Peter_Hartland]

Both great images do like the one with the prey.

 

[jrf23]

Wow! That is a lovely shot with the squirrel! Good stuff!

 

[Martyn...]

Well done on those you lucky devil .... what a gorgeous bird

 

[Duck_Pond]

Ditto Martyn's comments. Dead lucky to see one of these, let alone get such good shots.

 

[kaz10]

would love to see one of these, well done on the image

 

[Jonc]

Great shots, yet to see one.

 

[adrian5127]

Great shots esecially like the one with the squirrel....problem with living in the SE the wildlife is not as good

 

[DonnaM]

Wow, rather see that than a Crake! You lucky person and great shots too.

 

[targetman]

Super capture.

 

[grumpybadger]

Cracking pictures - love them. Well done. A rare capture in the UK.

 

[Weldingblues]

Both excellent capture's but the one with the dead tree-rat is for me the best.
Regards

 

[Ceejay]

WOW, Thank you all for the kind comments, much appreciated.
There is the squirrel in the first pic, it is upside down showing its teeth.
Probably not very clear though.
Must say after this I am at a bit of a loss as to what pic to post next !
Still not long till the end of October so hopefully the regular wintering juvenile,
(must be 3 or 4 years old now) Golden Eagle will be back for a few months.

Cracking shot and well pleased at one less grey squirrel over here as long as it does not develope a taste for reds.

 

[johnp]

Keep coming back to look at these as both excellent shots!
