The other day my wife and I were watching this tractor raking up the hay in a field nearby
while overhead an aerial display was going on
The Red Kites were swooping after small rodents like mice & voles
There was more than one
Red Kite after taking a swipe at the mice
A buzzard flying past
Then landing in a tree
Kite on the wing
Red Kite trailing Grass
A kite and Buzzard flying past each other and another pair of kites one trailing a grass tail
This crow tried to dive bomb the Kite, he just swerved out the way as you can see.
Not sure if he has a mouse of is claring the grass away, eitherway this is how they feed on the wing
Another taking a peck at somthing while flying
I'll finish with the buzzard as he few away.
Taking Park in Our World Tuesday

Great series!!Boom, Bobbi and Gary.
ReplyDeleteYou got some fantastic shots of the show in the sky. I bet the tractor was stirring up the field mice so the birds were taking advantage.
ReplyDeleteThey're very handsome birds!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic series of photos! These birds are so beautiful and fascinating! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a show! And you didn't have to pay admission either.
ReplyDeleteNice work Bill. I think we have so many Buzzards around here because there are no kites. It will be interesting to see what happens when we get kites - if we do.
