Golden Eagle & Hare


TheTamshee: travelled some distant miles to have the opportunity to photograph this majestic captive Golden Eagle displaying for a few keen photographers.The challenge was to capture the menace in the eagles steely eye's. Having the opportunity to get up close to this magnificient raptor; and experience the raw power in that hooked beak and pin sharp talons was a great experience.

Short Eared Owl

TheTamshee:spent a bright but cold day in the company of a handful of Short Eared Owls on the east coast of scotland. The light conditions were favourable but it can be very tricky capturing these magnificent predators in full flight. They are constantly changing direction while scanning the grassy terrain for a tasty rodent. Check out Tamshee's Photography photostream / Flickr for more of the set

Red Squirrel @ Whinfell Forest

TheTamshee: spent some quality time strolling the tracks through Whinfell Forest in search of the ever exploring Red Squirrel or Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) they are a species of tree squirrel which are thriving among the pine trees in this region of the lake district. The red squirrel is an arboreal, omnivorous rodent whose numbers have decreased drastically in recent years, in part because of the introduction of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) Check out Tamshee's Photography / Flickr photostream for more sets.
