So eine Burgmauer ist eigentlich ein Mittel der Gewalt. Aber für den Falken ist es Heimat. Und vielleicht ist er froh über den schmalen, kaum sichtbaren Spalt, in dem er seine Jungen aufzieht.

This is a Whistling Kite, a species of raptor to be found across Australia. This one kindly flew by several times, allowing me to get these images, which show their distinctive wing markings.

Morning to you, too !

Taken 25 May 2013 -
Area 2 of the Osprey families that I watched -
In Florida US -
There were 5 areas -
Each different, but all had a lake nearby -
Dad had to fly over and get supper !
As long as I kept a respectable distance -
It was all good -

For Andy

Lanner Falcon

nobody@ipernity.com (natureoncam aka Greg) — Sun, 01 Nov 2020 13:50:16 +0000

natureoncam aka Greg has posted:

The Lanner Falcon is a powerful, swift and well-equipped hunter. In addition to long, powerful talons, it has a special notch on its beak called a tomial tooth, just like most other falcons do. This sharp, triangular-shaped ridge on the outer edges of the upper mandible is used to help kill prey quickly. When a Lanner Falcon captures an animal in its talons, it might not be able to kill its prey right away with just the strength of its feet, so it bites the prey's neck, severing the vertebrae and killing it instantly.

The Lanner Falcon can sometimes be seen on exposed perches, using its sharp eyesight to watch for passing prey or scanning the horizon for potential predators or other threats. It also spends a lot of time soaring, sometimes to great heights. This swift raptor is usually found alone or in pairs, or during breeding season in small family groups. However, sometimes these birds congregate in small groups, especially at grass fires or other areas where prey may be present in larger numbers.

The Red Kite was being harassed by the crow who was probably protecting young birds but got chased away by the larger, faster and more agile Red Kite.
