Some big cats drag their kill up a tree so that they can feast later - keeps it away from the scavengers.

Must say that the quality of photos in this months comp are outstanding! :thumbup
I had been watching this Buzzards nest for a while before disaster struck! The litte one at the back had been kicked out of the nest. Up at the nest it was obvious that it's sibling was considerably larger and must be gobbling all the food. I popped the little fella back but it will probably happen again in the coming days - but that's survival of the fittest i suppose..... (note dinner on the edge of the nest)

Bt3, do you have a licence to photograph schedule 1 type birds in breeding season? Sticking a flash in a baby birds face is illegal, and downright irresponsible!! I'm sorry, but I have very strong feelings about this!! No wonder a baby has been kicked out the nest, it's probably because it's been disturbed!!
I was going to give a reply to this ................but d'ya know what - i really can't be arsed! :rolleyes
