A tale of two birds while trying to get a pic of a Kingfisher in poor light the following drama unfolded The Kingfisher looking for his supper ![]() then a sudden commotion from the Moorhens and this Sparrowhawk came hurtling over the dead tree and the Kingfisher departed n a hurry followed closely by the Hawk ![]() in this pic the Hawk is just coming from behind the dead tree at the top right( you can just see his face ) ![]() those eyes ![]() and finally a happy ending-the Kingfisher escaped ![]() incredibly ten mins or so later the Kingfisher returned and once again was pursued by the Hawk and once again escaped ! |

Well I was pretty impressed with the Stonechat and then I saw the adventure unfold on the next sequence of photos...what are the chances of getting a good shot of a Kingfisher, let alone the pursuit

I'm not sure whether we have Black Redstart on the bird challenge Andy, but if not, you can certainly add yours. |
