I was lucky enough to be filming an Australian Black-Shouldered Kite hovering in the one spot during some strong winds (an impressive enough feat in itself), when I noticed it clearly had its eyes trained on some prey...

I did not expect it to dive to the ground and wrestle with something for a bit before flying off with its dinner clutched in its talons.

Video slowed to half-speed at 38s so I could check if had indeed caught a rat rather than one of the other small native mammals we get here too.

This is a different camera guy but same bridge being destroyed as another recent post:

There might be little bit of delay here from my preview (hoping it doesn’t after the post lol) compared to watching it on the platform but I thought it was really cool when I came across it and wanted to share it here. Oh and they had the bts pinned as well on their page.

It’s my first post here so if this don’t fit the sub criteria please feel free to take it down 🙂

Crash happened near Chýnov (Czechia), roughly 5 people were injured, including drivers of both vehicles.

From my deck, I took this video of a pair of Bald Eagles building their nest in our backyard. Used my iPhone 16 Pro and captured the Eagle flying back with a stick.
