Queensbury Raptor Watch

Buzzard doing a backward flip to see off the corvid

Chase continues

Corvids turn to flip

Unfortunately the sun was between me and the bird

Away it goes unscathed

Sparrowhawk decides to play dodge the corvid

The fun begins

Not as brave as the buzzard and retreats.

An hour out late afternoon found it to be a good moving day with several Herring gulls >W and LBB gulls heading >NW.
Raptors were out in force with 2 Buzzard, 3 Sparrowhawk and 4 Kestrels, a real entertaining hour.
