Raptors


I had a walk down to Kenidjack Valley for an hour last night and encountered three Raptors within the space of thirty minutes. The Juvenile or sub-adult Peregrine had hit a Magpie and made short work of eating its quarry. Photographs not impressive as I was photographing the Peregrine through a hedge so as not to disturb it feeding. It is amazing what you see when out for a short walk.



Peregrine leftovers, not sure if I quite got the eye glint.

  3. Great shots Sam. Poor Magpie but it's a good reason not to cull them eh :-) Nature has it's own way and I'm happy with that.
