On a recent trip to RSPB Bowling Green Marsh, I spotted this Peregrine Falcon causing havoc amongst the waders. It was interesting to watch and photograph. Unfortunately for him (but not the waders) he didn’t catch anything.

While watching various waterfowl we were interrupted by about four dozen Canada Geese coming in for a landing. I got several shots of them flying overhead.

You get great shots of these guys! I can't get any closer than 100-150' to ours over here. I will keep trying.
Yes Phil but I am that distance away and much further a lot of the time, if I was to post a pre cropped image I think it would be a suprise for many people. But a yes thanks for comments as always and I am sure you can get some great shots as well :)
 
Plenty of Short Eared Owl action here on the Yorkshire coast over Christmas and New Year

Took quite a few photos for this one to turn out. Sony A7RV and the 100-400 GM

Great picture. If you click in "Insert > full image" it will be displayed in whole glory and with exif data.
 
Spent an entertaining hour watching Kestrels hovering, diving down to catch juicy caterpillars in the grass, then eating in flight

Turkey Vultures are one of the easiest birds to photograph in flight. This one flew over pretty close as I was getting shots of other birds in my yard.
