Stoat & Lunch.......

This rabbit is about to become lunch for a stoat.



Whilst strolling through the wood the rabbit ran past me with
the stoat in hot persuit.
After walking back about 400 yrds I caught up with the stoat
with its kill.

Even though the Stoat knew I was there taking these pictures

it was'nt prepared to give up its kill.

The stoat quietly dragged the dead animal into a hole.

Quite an experience! One that will probably never happen again.

Kingfisher

The "master hunter".....& he's damn good looking as well.......

Spoony....

Been trying to photograph Spoonbill for quite a longtime now.
Finally got the opportunity this week, all be it from a distance.
Not the best images I've ever taken, but there better than none at all!



Patricularly like the one below. Some type of "backflip" !!

Grey heron also came on the scene, but both species were
more than happy to share the water......
