Excellent shot though and it must have been trilling to see such a cracking bird randomly.Millhouse Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14900757844395788703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234950101395165139.post-60392987184185860472012-04-08T22:43:40.904+01:002012-04-08T22:43:40.904+01:00Glad to hear the Green beast is up and running mat...Glad to hear the Green beast is up and running matecolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268839646697163307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234950101395165139.post-42715306230940660202012-04-06T13:33:15.962+01:002012-04-06T13:33:15.962+01:00Definitively a Harris Hawk!

Beautiful picture!<br />They occur in the Americas!<br />Escapees in Europe are seen more often than one should think.<br />I can also say that it is the only hawk brave enough to go for a Grey Heron on the ground!<br />How strange: I saw one too the other day..... coming up on my blog very shortly!<br />I was fortunate to watch it catch a Magpie and eat it, and have my camera with me!<br />Cheers!Noushkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11583459949373167021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234950101395165139.post-48769907689086390642012-04-06T09:15:15.390+01:002012-04-06T09:15:15.390+01:00Hi Russel.

Came across a couple once who were sending a Ferret down rabbit holes to flush the rabbits out, and the Harris Hawk to catch them.Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234950101395165139.post-35045184041717405502012-04-06T06:59:51.012+01:002012-04-06T06:59:51.012+01:00Looks like a Harris Hawk to me.
