This bird is wild, I was in a hide for these shots, and the bird has been baited.
Sat for 10 hours first day with no visits!! and sometimes bird can come in catch prey on the wing and thats it for another day!

enjoy

Howard.

Sharp Shinned Hawk for those of us on the west side of the Atlantic.

Magnificent images Howard and deservingly so after the long waits for the show.
You say 'baited'? Certainly this raptor does not go for dead birds? What brought it in or was this a catch and brought to this perch?

#1 isn't that look intimidating! Wowza!
#2 rather a powerful image of death and life
#3 what a shredder! Very cool image buddy
#4 nice
#5 nice

You are a patient man Howard, wish I had the time to spend and wait for many of the shots I want...........
Beautiful color and pleasing details with wonderful BG's............

#1 and #3 are great with #3 getting the "hat tip" from me. Baiting isn't always easy or successful and is the only way to get these images. You are the U.K. guru !!

Abs. fantastic series. Such a beautiful raptor. Outstanding captures. I know time in a blind. For various birds over the last year I've probably logged close to 60 hours total sitting sitting sitting.....
'baiting' is a term in my area reserved for poachers.
I'd say you were providing a friendly meal to a kindred spirit....something I do
daily.

Thank you so much Howard - for me not just a wonderful set photographically but it brought back some good memories.

I used to breed 'Spars' in captivity (in East Anglia) from injured rescue birds that could not themselves be returned to the wild (injured wings etc) and then, with some colleagues, flew the offspring as falconry birds and released them to the wild after they had been flown for a season and were fully trained.

Your shots show perfectly the intensity of sheer murderous intent of these little fireballs - thanks - good memories of good times ... and as I said above great shots to boot.
