What a wonderful sight to behold, but we were lucky to see more than just one at a totally amazing Bird of Prey display at the Puy de Fou in France (if you ever get the chance to go you must!) My friends and I were in absolute delight to have many types of birds flying around and above us….it was beautifully played and all the history of the Puy de Fou. Taken on canon 350d sigma zoom 70-300mm on full zoom….

I consider this to be a MASTERPIECE because this certainly is a tough shot to make for sure’ the speed of these birds makes them a differcult subject. The DOF and the composition is good I was very pleased to capture this beautiful bird with that “V” shape to the wings and at the same time looking directly at me as a result I think I caught this Buzzard in perfect timing’ so I personally think this will be extremely hard to beat and in my opinion a awesome capture ! My passion for art starts right here with such an inspiring capture and my love for wildlife this is to me what drives my photography to the edge of perfectionism’ so there for helps me and others to understand what a wonderful planet that we all live and share… There’s room for us all, from animals to man peace I say” and Iet’s pray to God’ It stays that way… Description: This bird of prey, being large with broad, rounded wings, and a short neck and tail. When gliding it will often hold its wings in a shallow ‘V’. It is variable in colour from all dark brown to birds with pale heads and breasts, all have dark wingtips and an unbanded tail. jdmphotography

The Turkey Vulture, Cathartes aura, also known in North America as the Turkey Buzzard (or just “buzzard”), is a bird found throughout most of the Americas. One of three species in the genus Cathartes, in the family Cathartidae, it is the most common of the New World vultures, ranging from southern Canada to the southernmost tip of South America. It inhabits a variety of open and semi-open areas, including subtropical forests, shrublands, pastures, and deserts. The Turkey Vulture is a scavenger and feeds almost exclusively on carrion. It finds its meals using its sense of smell, flying low enough to detect the gases produced by the beginnings of the process of decay in dead animals. In flight, it uses thermals to move through the air, flapping its wings infrequently. It roosts in large community groups. Lacking a syrinx—the vocal organ of birds—its only vocalizations are grunts or low hisses. It nests in caves, hollow trees, or thickets, generally raising two chicks each year, which it feeds by regurgitation. It has very few natural predators. In the United States of America, the vulture receives legal protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. With a wingspan of 173–183 cm (68–72 in) and an average weight of 1.4 kg (3.1 lb), the Turkey Vulture is a large bird. It has dark brown to black plumage, a featherless, purplish-red head and neck, and a short, hooked, ivory-colored beak. The Turkey Vulture received its common name from the resemblance of the adult’s bald red head and its dark plumage to that of the male Wild Turkey, while the name “vulture” is derived from the Latin word vulturus, meaning “tearer” and is a reference to its feeding habits.

Chilean Blue Eagle also known as the Black-chested Buzzard-eagle. Bird of prey found in South America. It is the only member of the genus Geranoaetus. It belongs in the hawk and eagle family Accipitridae and is allied to the Buteo hawks. The Black-chested Buzzard-eagle is readily identified in flight by its short wedge-shaped tail scarcely protruding from its long, broad wings.It is usually possible to make out the generally white underparts with the dark chest-band and tail but you are less likely to see its grey upperparts. It is found in mountainous or hilly terrain where it spends a lot of time soaring while looking for prey. This consists of mammals such as rabbits, some birds, snakes and carrion. It nests in high trees or on rocky cliffs.

The Secretary Bird, Sagittarius serpentarius, is a large, mostly terrestrial bird of prey. Endemic to Africa, it is usually found in the open grasslands and savannah of the sub-Sahara.Although a member of the order Falconiformes, which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as kites, buzzards, vultures, and harriers, it is so distinctive that it was given its own family, Sagittariidae. It enjoys a certain fame in Africa, specifically Sudan and South Africa, serving as a prominent emblem on both nations’ coats of arms. From a distance or in flight it resembles a crane more than a bird of prey. The Secretary Bird is largely terrestrial, hunting its prey on foot, and other than the caracara it is the only bird of prey to do so habitually. Adults hunt in pairs and sometimes as loose familial flocks, stalking through the habitat with long strides. Prey consists of insects, small mammals, lizards, snakes, young birds, bird eggs, and sometimes dead animals killed in brush fires. Larger herbivores are not hunted, although there are some reports of Secretary Birds killing young gazelles.

The Nevis range Scotland. Manipulated illustration to my poem. / / And I soar / everything is now beneath / everything is laden and sheathed / everything is earthbound common and supplicant / everything is small pale and insignificant / everything is worthwhile is caught / everything around you is bought / and stuffed with pollution / positing a richer constitution / everything lacks / everything shoves you back / everything black winged beats death to its door / everything I leave, miss and target…. but I soar And I fly / everything completes me, now before I die / everything now I can see / such I never saw before / everything is now complete / all I taste, see, hear, smell is sweet. / I always hit the light / there is an end touched sight / I am no longer who / I am he who only loves you and I soar Ken Simm A combination of all my work.
