Iain had the opportunity to get out to the Pivot Fields a few times this week. Images by Iain Laver
Cattle Egrets are often found near or under the irrigation stalking and catching insects
Common Kestrels are found hovering and hunting in between the larger raptors
Black Kites are still the predomnant raptor at the Pivot Fields, with juveniles being more striking than adult birds, in my opinion
Iain was fortunate to witness piracy of prey (a frog) between 2 Common Buzzards. In these images the bird in the foreground has snatched away the half eaten frog from the bird in the background and devoured it as quickly as possible.
