Whilst architectural aspects of buildings in cities have always been an interest both photographically and Art wise, I also have a passion for Wildlife.  Birds for example are a favorite and many of those I can see from my kitchen window though some might require a little further travel.
Here are two that are miles apart and I mean lots of miles.

Sparrowhawk "the watcher"

Managed in a heavy color brush style, this is a European Sparrowhawk and quite a regular visitor to my garden.  Beautiful coloration which I have accentuated as I tend to do, to bring it out from the woodland dark trees behind.

Then a long way from my garden is this wonderful bird – a snake Eagle I think they call it in India where this was found.

Family resemblance perhaps

I confess I’m not really sure, but certainly one of the many predators in the Indian area I’m sure.  Maybe more akin to a Falcon or Falconnet as it wasn’t too large a bird. Great fun to capture and one day I’ll really have to try and identify many of the pictures and illustrations I have managed over the years.

It certainly does show the sheer amount of traveling I’ve done I suppose as you jump from continent to continent.  I just wish it was as easy as these birds seem to find it – and cheaper too!

I have some other ones in my folders and I’ll probably post them sometime in the future if I find them. After I find out what they are!
