    Are there Red Kites near Stansted Airport?

    In November of last year, I drove to Stansted Airport in London to get to Poland. The four hours staring out the window were very productive mostly due to the good weather with three kestrels hovering over the motorway (my first), two buzzards, one flying relatively low over a motorway bridge...

    Rufous-bellied Eagle vs Black Hornbill, Borneo

    A young Rufous-bellied Eagle is stalking a male Black Hornbill. Fortunately, nothing happened. The Black Hornbill made numerous loud calls with his female mate not far away. Soon after, the Black Hornbill flew away, and the Rufous-bellied Eagle remained at the same location until it, too, flew away.

    Female Sparrowhawk visitor

    Our budgies kicked off a racket behind the curtains, next to the patio doors. When I parted the curtains this lovely lady was eyeing them up and trying to figure why she couldn't get at them. This is the second time one of these has attempted to get an easy snack. The Budgies do have a hide!

    Help identifying bird of prey - Portsmouth, UK.

    Raptor riding a thermal really high up. I have zoomed and enhanced as much as possible to extract some detail. My mind tells me goshawk or perhaps peregrine but the wings and tail seem to broad? Thanks for the help, Jose
