Default Challenge - May - Raptors!
For this months challenge, lets see some shots of those raptors! Eagles, Hawks, Buzzards, Falcons.. you know the ones.. Mean talons, intimidating beaks, piercing eyes... all part of this amazing type of bird

I'll start off with a recent Osprey

For anyone interested in comparing the Harriers, I'm Very sorry for posting the Harrier out of sequence with my opening list, I have put the Marsh between the Montagu's and the Pallid that I'm now posting here.
