A Sore Thumb Pheasant


This bird is not really equipped to live in the country, taken very close to Harty Church, this was last year, I wonder if this bird was in the sights of 12 gauge shotgun whether or not the hunter would pull the trigger, what do you think?

Stoat with Prey


I managed this shot through the windscreen of my old camper, along with about six other shots which I will publish.
These were taken by chance at Harty, about 100 yds from the Ferry Inn I do not think that this kill was attributed to the stoat but was perhaps his reward after a road kill, the corpse looks to be a rabbit but not sure.

Long Eared Owl


This is another shot of the Owl at RSPB Wellmarsh Hide, Isle of Sheppey.

A Few Red Kites


These pictures are but a few they were taken in the Brecons over a period of about five years, they always remind me of the WW2 Spitfire, elegant, fast, highly maneuverable, and with a swift dispatch of it's quarry...
