Mini Hunter Killer

Down to Marazion and thought it must be weekend because the weather is pants. Anyway determined to get something despite the wind and grey skies this is the best I could get today. All taken with a 1D MK111 and 600mm lens. Todays pictures, taken just after Keith Hargreaves left (always the same someone leaves (normally me) and something turns up)


Spotted on his first circuit around the marsh


Second circuit and something has his attention


Well his been down to ground and got something you can see the evidence just below the tail.


All is revealed a field/door mouse for lunch held in one claw


Now he came back and returned to the hunt less than a minute after going to ground with the mouse, so I don't know if he scoffed it or hid it for later

Again some nice capture Bob... These flight shots were probably not easy to do with a 600mm lens!
