Happy wall - HWW!

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.

Sparrowhawk

After its brief flight it stopped here and finished its meal before flying off into the trees.
Whatever you might think, it is a very efficient killer.

Sparrowhawk with prey

Spotted in the garden this morning, obviously just captured the pigeon.
As I moved to get a better shot it picked up the bird and flew to a different part of the garden and demolished its prey, leaving me to dispose of the carcass and multiple feathers.
A case of nature at work rarely seen.

Morning to you, too !

Amazed at the colour and wingspan of this owl, completely silent in flight.

Views best in large.

This series of Owls Eagles and other Birds of prey were seen at York Bird of Prey centre in one of their daily flying displays. Unfortunately taking photographs and listening and making notes of which BoP was which is beyond my skillset so they are Owls of various makes and models and other BoP.
