A great day @HawkConservancy watching flying displays. These two WhiteHeaded Vultures were having a 'discussion'. This picture now featured in Flickr 'Explore'. Thanks for a beautiful day.

A bit of a story at @slimbridge_wild On the Estuary Tower we saw this Peregrine take a Wigeon. Not a clean kill. The Wigeon was on the ground. The Peregrine then flew around, in the rain, waiting for the Wigeon to expire. Then the Perigrine flew in and took it away. #GlosBirds

We were @HawkConservancy Thursday, it was great watching Hugo fly Saxon the Golden Eagle in the dying light of the afternoon. You could see the mutual trust and respect between them. Ok a bit of food too. Saxon flying looks like the bigger of pair.

We had a great time @HawkConservancy watching Owls in the sun. It was cold, but that suited the Snowy Owl. So good to see the birds flying in the sun. A great day out.

There were 27 Snipe on the island @slimbridge_wild on the Rushy Thursday. This seemed to produce lots of 'interaction' and some of the tallest Snipe that I had ever seen. #GlosBirds

Something I'd not seen before is a Spotted Redshank struggling to swallow a fish. Eventually it did. On the Rushy @slimbridge_wild #GlosBirds . Will it eventually produce a pellet like a Kingfisher? No wonder they spend so much time sleeping.
