Excellent image John - almost vulture like the way it's standing guard over that carcass, and a very menacing yelow glint in the eye.

Excellent image - really well captured with a really gripping yellow eye. Was this taken from a baited hide or did you stalk in on this bird?

I remember this one, John - it's a fabolous image. I wonder about the American Harriers coming to carrion, I have never heart about our Harriers doing that. :toast: :toast:

Terrific shot but I'm sure I've seen it before! Have you had it published? How did it kill the goose? Did you see the kill, it must've been awesome with lots of quacking and feathers!? Is this normal behaviour?
