All quiet on the Western front

Yariv and I toured along the fields close to the border with Gaza this morning. Overall, it was very quiet birdwise but the battle between a Hen Harrier and Black Kite (for the HH's meal) was awesome to watch. The photos don't even make 'record shot' quality but the do capture some of the action.




Lots of Buzzards around,


and a few Peregrine,



plus the obligatory Long Legged Buzzards.
