We were in central Mexico and both were anxious to start the day with good preys; me just as a little helper of this magnificient and powerful brid of prey.

Milvus milvus. This magnificently graceful bird of prey is unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail. It was saved from national extinction by one of the world's longest running protection programmes, and has now been successfully re-introduced to England and Scotland. This kite was photographed over the Welsh countryside where they are a beautiful sight to behold.

This is a wild sparrowhawk. They use ambush as their method of hunting. It's a very fast, agile and nimble bird and is quite difficult to spot. I couldn't believe my luck when I came across this one, and I'm happy to say that he didn't finish his meal and the unfortunate bird did get away and survive.

The sparrowhawk is a secretive and solitary hunter. It favours woodland where it hunts along the woodland edges and clearings. It is highly manoeverable. It usually takes small birds such as chaffinch, yellowhammer and great tit. This is a male and has just caught a moorhen. Quarry is eaten on the ground or on a stump, the hawk standing with both feet on its victim, drooping wings to form a tent and spreading its tail as if to give support. As seen here. I'm happy to say it survived.

A young Bald Eagle fledgeling rests briefly on a large granite rock, its beady eagle eyes focused intently on you as it spreads its yellow talons. This is a very young bird so it doesn't yet have the trademark white head and coloring.
