Take A Bite @ Early Light by richardverroen
The Owl was hunting and everytime the bird rested on three different favorite spots in the grassland. I decided to sneak near one of these spots and then wait … and wait … and wait.
It took a lot of time, but the waiting was rewarded. 🙂

This Owl is a dayhunter. It has a yellow iris diaphragm. A orange one is mostly a twilight hunter and a black one is a nighthunter.

‘Honey, Give Me Some Buzz.’ by richardverroen
At sunrise I was hiding to take pictures of Goldfinches. After 2 hours I didn’t have any picture yet.
When I looked in the other direction suddenly a bird of prey was sitting on a pole a little bit further away.
I thought it was a common Buzzard / Hawk.
‘’Well, I don’t see a Goldfinch so why not photograph the ‘Buzzard’ instead?’’
I had to be in a rather strange pose to be able to get shots of that bird, but I did.
When I looked in my viewfinder I saw the yellow eye and the blue-brownish color on its cheek. Wow, that’s not a Buzzard, but a very rare Honey Buzzard!
Those birds are only seen flying high up in the sky and this one is sitting on a pole nearby and did not notice me at all!
It stayed for 15 minutes. What a beautiful day, no what a beautiful week!

‘s morgens vroeg sta ik verdekt opgesteld bij een paar distels om zo Putters te kunnen fotograferen.
Na een kleine twee uur en nog geen enkele Putter, zie ik in mijn ooghoek, op wat lijkt, een ‘Buizerd’ landen op een paaltje verderop. Ik moet even een slangenmens houding aannemen, maar dan kan ik die zogenaamde ‘Buizerd’ er mooi op krijgen en dat is nooit weg denk ik.
Alleen als ik ‘m in mijn zoeker krijg denk ik meteen: een gele iris? Een Buizerd heeft een bruine en dat blauwgrijze bij het oog is ook niet van een Buizerd. Krijg nou wat denk ik: een Wespendief!!!
Best zeldzaam en zo dichtbij. Hij heeft mij niet door en blijft zeker 15 minuten zitten. De dag, nee de week kan niet meer stuk met zo’n beauty.

I’m always looking at the clouds, wondering what type of image I could capture. Friday afternoon presented storm clouds in every direction for the Hunter. Here is a less is more approach to showcasing those powerful clouds! Fingers crossed for some lightning as well next time.
