Raptors

To continue on catching up from the last few months of non-blogging, if there are birds that I really enjoy photographing then it has to be Birds of Prey, and I really must make a more concerted effort to get out and photograph them some more. I have an ongoing wish list, near the top are Barn Owls and Short Eared owls, just need to locate some!!
For now are a few shots from the last few months...

First up is a beautiful Kestrel, this taken at RSPB Burton Mere



Next up is of a male Sparrowhawk taken from the kitchen window, this bird actively hunts in the garden



One of my favourites, and a bird I really want to get out and photograph a lot more, Barn Owl, this is a captive bird.



and lastly, one of the conservation successes of previous years, the Common Buzzard
