this male harrier is still convinced that females are more impressed by the length of his sticks and his surfing ability than the need to eat -- the female lost no time in telling him otherwise
I don't think I have ever seen a large bird hauling sticks to make a nest. These are really nice photos. Mine are all of birds that land in my backyard so the selection is somewhat limited and none are flying. You can see what I get at My Bird Blog.
Hi Graham, I just happened across your blog while researching Cyprus, and I just have to say congratulations on your wonderful and rather stunning photography. I have spent some time looking through your archives and was quite taken aback with some of the birds and wildlife that you have managed to capture so beautifully. A very fulfilling occupation and I wish you much continued success! Regards, Rachel

Great sequence Graham. Wonderful sharpness in these flight pictures.

Great narration of that mating sequence! I love that photo with the long stick.
