I love this shot well done. can i ask what lens you were using?
The released a few of these in Rockingham forest, there are some static caravans close by, one weekend a family were there with their yorkshire terrier when one dropped out of the sky and flew off with it
beautiful but keep your dog on a lead
Cracking picture poacher
That I think is an urban myth
Red kites are largely carrion eaters and have a body mass of an average of 2.5lbs a little over a kilo
A Yorkie weighs an average of 2.5Kg
Now having hunted birds of prey for several years
a female Harris hawk for example weighs roughly the same as a red kite a sub adult hare
weighs roughly the same as a Yorkie and an adult rabbit conciderably less
Its all the hawk can do to subdue said quarry and possibley drag a rabbit
to near-by cover it would never get off the ground with either
I would love to see the news item though
they`re mostly scavegers.
