Everyday a large bird of prey has decided to spend some of its hunting time in the field next to us. A free nature cinematic thrill ride. Now if it would just come a little closer and not fly so fast then I might get some closer shots.
Hawklad (son) is so happy that this can now be seen from the safety of his garden. This is such a bonus. With it looking like a few more months of isolation we look to nature to bring the world to us. With patience it never lets us down.
You got some good shots ๐

This bird teaches us that life lives on life. It is the first law of nature. And it is harsh reality. Would that it were not so, that we could find nourishment in rocks and stones. but it will never be.

I really like birds of prey too. We have a lot of Redtailed Hawks around here and I consider it lucky when I see one.

Watching birds is very peaceful. I live near a bird sanctuary so we get a lot of interesting birds in our garden. The fruit eating birds have eaten all my spinach. They pecked holes in the leaves.

I just spent the morning watching some Rosella’s in the neighbours tree. What I found so interesting, is that there doesn’t seem anything on the tree for them to eat. They have a lovely sound though.

Be sure to walk around in your yard, barefooted. Skin contact directly on the Earth is VERY healing. Rubber soled shoes insulate us from our planet. You should reconnect as often as possible. It’s called “Earthing” or “Grounding.” We need it as much as the Vitamin D our sun provides.

My feet always tingle a bit. It’s very slight. Our bodies build up a positive charge. Earth’s negative charge balances us out.

A concrete patio directly poured on the ground would work, too, if he doesn’t like walking in grass or dirt.

Always an uplifting spectacle. It’s rare for us to get a red kite (if that’s what it is) over here, so when we do we’re in awe!

There is something about birds of prey that is so thrilling and awe-inspiring. I love seeing hawks when we drive down to the big city. What amazing eyesight they must have to see prey so far below them! Birds are notoriously hard to photograph but you captured this one’s graceful glide! I always wish I had a stronger zoom lens for moments like these.
