I love everything we call raptors.
Might leave ID replies, glad to provide diagnostic characters if asked.

Northern hawk-owl caught a mouse. With some raptors I have been collecting frames in top of each other. It is so interesting to see how all the details (position of head and wings) in every frame are changing.

Rock Kestrel (Falco rupicolus) hover-hunting over a patch of fynbos on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa. A small falcon species, common in this area, always nice to see. Goes after small rodents, lizards, large insects, etc.

It feels weird for us to call them “Black-headed” gulls. They always have white winter plumage when they come to Japan. Actually, their Japanese name is ユリカモメ(Yurikamome), which means “Lily Gull”
Winter has come. Black-headed gulls come to my town only in winter. So the true winter for me is the season when they stay at a local port.

日本語だと白いサギも青いサギも黒いサギもみんな一律サギだけど、英語だと白いサギはEgret、その他のサギはHeronって明確に違う名詞になってるの面白いねって話でした。
It’s interesting that English speakers have a unique noun for white herons, Egret. Even though they’re taxonomically the same as herons. We don’t have a specific word for them in Japanese. All egrets and herons are “herons” for us. #Birds

Thank you for following everyone, I've just reached 20,000, which is mad! 😀🙏
Bluesky is brilliant, it's like Twitter used to be back in the day.. but it will change.
We've seen this with every social media that gets big unfortunately.
In the meantime, here's a male Kestrel. 😍🐦

Little Owls
It's a wonderful thing to have Little Owls in the garden, especially in the early summer when there are owlets about.
You pop out to bring the washing in and find owlets everywhere - even (literally) caught on camera...
