smoking netles


Recommended Posts

was out yesterday, stalking rabbits with my pea shooter falcon, on one of the farms i frequent. i managed to get within 50 yards or so to observe the antics a few young ones chasing each other, hopeing they would leg it closer. mtc mamba magged upto 50 i watched casually just 1 rabbit basking in the sun on a dry, dusty spot where he would occasionally roll in the dusty soil.

shortly after a woodie landed just behind, still in view, at this point the rabbit got spooked by a kestrel which landed in front of both pigeon and rabbit, now i had all 3 still in view, yards from each other.. wow.......

 

it had been a crack day, sun beating down on the the bold patch on top.... once the activity has slowed i observed some smoking nettles........ what the blazes......

 

the more i focus in, the more i noticed quite a few were at it. it appeared as they were smoking, but after looking closer it was very fine mist/dust, obviously this is how they pollenate......

 

on that note, i removed 1 bunny that wandered into my field of view.
