When I had just finished putting away camera a small black bird was flying onto the back of a hawk. I watched it fly up and hit the hawk in the back 4 x. I didn't see anything in hawks mouth but I think it had just stole the little black birds baby.
There was lots of birds chirping and lots of insects flying.
We watched a GreatBlue heron fly in and sit in water looking for lunch,it tried once but missed the catch this time.
