4. Down the hatch

1DX | 600mm + 2.0X TC = 1200mm | 1/1250sec | f/8 | ISO1000

Shots from early Feb 9, 14:

5. The gaze

6. Butt shot

7. Eyes on you.

8. Whatcha lookin' at...

Cheers,
Phoo

Great shots... excellent bokeh and behavioral documentation. I did not know kites swallowed their prey whole. Wonderfully sharp with a 2x.

And that's how it's done--mouse eating. It will take awhile to get the second image out of my mind, but that's some great photography.

Nothing attracts me to a post like a "gore warning"!

Outstanding images, Phoo - and fascinating behavioral series. More detail than I ever cared to see in terms of a raptor preparing his meal.

Thanks for sharing these, Phoo. Top notch work, as usual.

Super work here Phoo, I like the lighting you have here, it's both soft and yet still creates depth. 2 is the best part, you have to eat that first! (seriously, most animals do) Very nice work!
