hunger


she digs...screams...and lies down again

10:30 - 198 saw something and flew away, a second one calls in the area....198 can be heard calling further away....close to the nest.
There must be a supplier there....

[sova]

10:34 - 198 with loot on the nest....look at those jumps...awesome

[sova]

she jumps out of the nest with the prey....flies a circle under the nest
10:36 - 198 comes back to the nest with the prey and practices

[Liz01]

sova, Hellem

first arrival 198


If you don't mind, will I make a video or 2? It was just great!
sova, the pictures are already incredible stunning but they don't show the enormous speed of this rascal. It was amazing!I have never seen anything like this. A dance with the prey.



first a GIF:Ballet dancer turns pirouettes

[Liz01]

in the end he flew away fast like lightning. No wonder they are such successful hunters.

pretty greenish.. I will do a better one - and Slomo, he is too fast
SLOMO makes here no sense.. we want see normal speed. wuuusch!

[Hellem]

Liz, great GIF in Slomo , thank you very much for the vidos

[sova]

Dear Liz, thank you very much for the videos and GIF... phenomenal!
No, no... we have nothing against videos at all, very much in fact.
Sure, pictures can never show what a video or GIF shows.

198 turns 180° while jumping, it's so nice to see.
Also nice to see their catching skills....198 tosses the prey in the air and catches the prey with the claws before the prey on the ground is missing...amazing.
Yes, yes, the youngest *devil* turned out to be a beautiful bird and although they catch my darlings, I can't be mad at them.

Good night

[Emi7]

Good night all.

Hellem, Sova, Liz and all. Thanks for the documentation.

Masterful demonstration of the capabilities of the Goshawks.
Incredible strength in the takeoff of the legs, speed of movement and transfer and that is playing with the prey. When hunting, it has to reach maximum speed almost as soon as it leaves so as not to give the prey time to hide, it is also capable of maintaining great speed for quite some time and dribbling.
They have already learned to hunt even if they accept prey from their parents, they would be ready to fend for themselves.

Greetings and thanks for this documentation.
