prey

Just taken about half an hour ago in Portsmouth, UK. Flying by the shore with what i looks some kind of fish in its talons ? Looks like a peregrin falcon to me but need some help identifying please.

Thanks to the Seagulls, they chased this Buzzard straight to me he was looking at me as much as I was looking at him. Who had the better lens?

It stood stationary for about 15 mins then bag, one in the mouth

The Sparrow Hawk makes a regular appearance and sits around for ages. It's even sat on the surround of my garden pond. For so long one day I thought it was ill.

Red Tailed Hawk I captured yesterday staring me down like food :-P. This was from the front porch of my mom's house in Busti, NY. All kinds of prey birds around there, I also saw a Bald Eagle flying around across the street. Too far for a good photo.

This Black Kite had just picked up its prey when this shot was taken.

A Shikra, defeathers it's prey, in a grassland.

I witnessed the whole battle from the beginning. The Osprey worked hard to catch a fish, then the Bald Eagle appeared out of nowhere very quicky, chased the Osprey and forced it to give up the fish. This photo was the last of the sequence, at the moment the fish is free falling, and the Eagle is...

I took this photo last Fall. This Sharp Shinned Hawk flew right over my head after capturing the House Finch he's eating, and was quite content to let me take several shots. f5.8 1/500

This was my first opportunity to see an eagle in the wild. Though is was a dark gloomy day with rain and snow, I was fortunate to get a few pretty decent shots. It was very exciting!

This little fellow's favorite place is definitely this electric pole.

Every year thousands of birds migrate through Bosphorus and some of them take a break in other parts of Turkey. Here's an individual of a LSE "clan" that was taking a break in Lake Mogan.

Here's Turkey's "National Bird of Prey", Long-legged Buzzard.

This guy was eating a little kitten that was hit by a car

This hawk was hunting insects when I came up to an open field he flew up to this Guarumo tree, you can see the praying mantis that he got in his beak.

This little one was hunting insects around a field where a man was mowing the grass. It was chased away by a group of grackles and went to perch on a dead pine tree. I slowly aproached it taking photos at several distances until only 30 feet or so separated me from this little beauty. I was...

Low grasslands of Cocle near the town of Penonome, waited for me to approach and take several pics.

Another one of this great raptor.
