Hi folks,

 

Last sunday I was shooting big raptors such vultures, kites and eagles. We left some carrion in front of the photo hide to attract them. 

 

Suddenly two beautiful young foxes came from the bush and ate some carrion. After this they started playing in front of me. They were about 15 meters far from me. Fortunately I was shooting with the Fuji XF100-400mm, so I got enough close to them.

.In the sky, another species of raptors came down too. Black kites and Red kites started fighting and chasing each other’s in order to defend their air spaces, trying to dominate the other species. It was absolutely beautiful, as I could see how dominant Red kites are. A couple of Common buzzards came down too, but both were chasing and tried to be expulsed by Black kites, while Red kites were trying to expulse Black kites, what a strategic air flight!...

Hi folks,

Finally, after a long wait, I had the opportunity to meet and take pictures of the beautiful and enigmatic Little Owl (Athene noctua), one of my favorite European birds, and probably the cutest bird I’ve ever seen.

This little fluffy raptor measures around 21 cm in length with a wingspan of 55 cm (both male and female). Its weigh is about 170 grams. Its plumage color is brown and grey spotted with white. Its big yellow eyes stand out giving the bird a funny frowning expression as you can see in my new article on my website: Come check it out here: Little Owl Photo Hide

I show you one of the pictures of the article. You can see the rest of them on the article.
