Male Marsh harrier looking for lunch! This time of year looking for duckling chicks or similar., to pass to the female Marsh Harrier to then take back to their nest to feed their own chicks. Nature makes sure there are enough duckling survivors to ensure the next generation of ducks., whilst allowing enough food for the young Marsh harriers to make it to adulthood. All very satisfactory unless you happen to be the duckling lunch!

The Red Kite
My favourite Bird of Prey
Stunning colour., Big and Powerful but with that something else...
They play., they're curious., and when they look at you there's that hint of intelligence you just don't 'get' from a Buzzard or a Marsh Harrier
The Crows (most intelligent of them all) will tease a Buzzard like some big dumb oath., We've witnessed similar behaviour with Eagles., but they'll show far more respect to a Kite
Perhaps an acknowledgement., This is no dumb killing machine
This is a 'bright' and special animal

OK... We've probably been overdoing the owls recently!
(But they are irresistible!)
Of course they're not the only ones scouring the ground for food., as demonstrated by this beautiful Kite!

Sometimes you just have to stop and take it in
You can travel the seven seas., climb the highest mountains., dive to the bottom of every ocean
But you'll never find anything quicker than what you looking at here
Breathtaking to think of
