johnbaz 363 Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) A female Sparrowhawk that knocked a Woodie out of the sky and proceeded to scoff it over the next hour and forty five!, I only had a 55mm lens so the images came out small, They became grainy when I cropped/enlarged them There's been a pair of Buzzards soaring very high above, They looked like dots in the air, I used my compact that has a 60x zoom and anti shake, I still had to crop the pic! (Was hard to find it in the sky on full zoom!) That's all I have John.. Edited June 30, 2020 by johnbaz 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zandy01 3,575 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Nice to have 2 short eared owls return to local sight again this year, only seen at distance and sadly no photo opportunities so here’s one from 3 year ago... 7 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
