And they seem in fine form :valthumbup:

Thank you. I wish they were bigger- have to look into why they are smaller ? :-?

Have you noticed how BIG this female is??? She is a giant in comparison with the male. :shock:

You're right DEF! I made a similar comment about Appio and Vergine on the Italian forum but she's nothing compared to this one!! I wonder if she's the same female as last year? I don't remember there being such a noticeable difference in size. I'll go back and check... :attention:

She is a big mama! -Hi Warbler-

Wonderful photos Mick and Arles :sham3:

He looks like a mini bird compared to her- striking difference! Great pics Arles.

I wonder if its a camera angle distortion thingy...and look how large the prey is in his mouth!!!

wow, the size difference between Alice & Virgilio (or whoever they are) is really amazing!!!!

I actually don't think she's enourmous, but rather he is very very small. The prey was a european starling, and the male looks almost as small as its prey, quite strange indeed!
I saw this male in flight a few days ago, while setting the cam, and it really looked small!

ciao
