Another nice selection Ian
Did "Big Ears" survive ?
Don't you have a job?
Fantastic set as usual!! Are you missing Mull??
Do the marsh Harriers not migrate Ian?
Thats eversonearly a stunner!
looks more like a hare to me but what the hell!
very nice Ian
Nope they dont migrate
They migrate from up here, how can that be...............:shrug:
ill bow to anybody elses better knowledge though
Yes but obviously not on the weekend
Both adults have bailed out of our local reed beds, just the one juvenile remaining Ian?
I think i`ll do some digging..............
Apparently they all leave the breeding grounds, and some can migrate as far as Poole in Dorset, but others could be in the field next door to the breeding ground lol Lincolnshire Harriers seem to be here all year ?
lol good luck with the birdies then main thing i can suggest is look through local bird groups daily sightings and see if any have been seen and where
Sarnies and flask done, catch you later.............
Nice shots. Isn't that little guy in number 1 and 2 cute? My favourite for clarity is the last of the set.
stunning shots Ian
Nice set Ian. Didn't know we had Slavonian Grebe this far south... The harrier and the hare is a great moment!
I wonder if the harrier aborted when it saw the size of the hare? I was with a falconer yesterday and he said that his Harris hawks will take off after a hare and then pull up at the last minute when they realise the size of it, whereas with a rabbit they will keep going. As he said, the hare can inflict quite a kick. Don't know but it could be what happened...
There are supposed to be breeding ( again quite successfully) coloniesDo you guys down there get lots of escaped, non UK BOP`s?
some nice shots! the rspb reserve at loch ruthven is just up the road from us and we see a lot of the grebes, though i haven't ever gotten around to photographing them. this could be the inspiration i was needing though.....
