wow, did you witness the hunting action?

No, unfortunately that had all happened before I drove past them.

These were of it relocating further away from the road to continue eating in peace.

Exquisite capture Vassilis, congratulations.

Absolutely stunning, Vassilis.

Thank you all ! Yesterday was one of the most satisfying days with 200-300 of them just arriving from Africa

Greater White-fronted Goose

Very clear, sharp, colourful photo of a beautiful bird.
Really nice.

And there goes the Easter Bunny! (do not despair, Easter is safe, this was not a Bunny Rabbit rather a European Brown Hare....)

Beautiful photos Graham.
That's pretty parched looking territory.
Our sunburnt country.
Great privelege to see that.

This is quit a spectacular shot, Shalu. Excellent work. The prey is Aedes nigromaculis. I had to put my glasses on. ;-)a
