Pictures worth Tweeting about! Stunning images from international RSPB photography competition reveal moment a male kingfisher feeds its hungry chicks and a vulture tries to grab a live jackal

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8999023/Stunning-images-international-RSPB-photography-competition.html


Retired NHS consultant Phil Bennett was highly praised for his amazing shot of a peregrine falcon chick taking a bird whilst its parent looked on. He said: 'The peregrines nested just a mile or so from where I live in Scarborough and after the relaxing of the lockdown restrictions I'd be up with the sun and out to watch the peregrines hunting for breakfast, to watch the young grow and fledge, and learn to hunt'

T40 - thanks so much for all the bird news!  It gives me something to do when I can't see Mom & DM2.

A great message from Cornell about birds & 2020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85Mtrz55bzU&list=RDCMUC5Lz88Rt3GT75YT2ORAmaMQ&start_radio=1

The courtship display of the New Guinea Greater Lophorina (Birds-of-Paradise)...  the female typically rejects 15-20 suitors before agreeing to mate.
