We were tied up for most of the day, today.....
(Somehow I managed to wriggle one arm free though, hold my Ray Mears bushcraft pocket knife between my teeth and sever my binds).....
On our visit to White Windows , Sowerby Bridge, mid-maoring, there were a few birds in the gardens there.
Later on today, I enjoyed a cold leg stretcher up the local fields, one hour before sunset.
A Barn Owl was hunting above the snow fields and a wily Kestrel was shadowing it (landing on various fence posts) hoping to relieve the Barn Owl of it's tea.
However both went tea-less before the Owl left.
Meanwhile back at the ranch:-
Tonto and his friend Thomas are out birding the wild west.
Lots of Eagles, Vultures and Owls to see but no luck, yet, with a Red Tailed Hawk.
Then Tonto shouts "Look Tom, a Hawk!"
Tom looked up , but, schooooooop, too late.
The tomahawk took his 'ed right off!
