Birdies in the sky

This would have been my first entry to Skywatch Friday, but since I am “earning” money with my Site (a whole Dollar or so on ad revenue) I would need a special permission to partake.
Too much of a hassle for me.
So, just enjoy my birdy anyway ;)

This one’s a bird we’ve seen on our walk on Tuesday. It looked like a Buzzard and then it didn’t. I asked my friends over in at Surfbirds and Colin came up with the idea of it being a female Marsh Harrier, Rohrweihe in German, Circus aeruginosus (thanks to Bavarianbirds for the translation!).

Looking it up in my smart Kosmos animal guide book, I read that the Marsh Harrier belongs to the family of buzzards.

I think I want to go back there and check out if I can get a closer and better shot at it :)


Happy Friday everyone :)

Nice birdies! Check out the Looking at the Sky on Fridays meme -- an alternative to SkyWatch. Started for just the reason you stated! http://www.crazyworkingmom.com/

Birds in flight have always been a challenge for me. (I'm not sure why unless it's the angle.) So I'm always mildly envious when I see shots like these. Nice job!

Thanks, Bi - same to you.
I'm a bit late on my bloggy run this weekend. I gotta adjust it to the good weather :D

Cool - thanks, Terri!! :)

LOL, BengBeng! :)

Grin, Mojo, I keep trying. My best one so far is a stork in flight last year.
But then, fat chance to miss a big thing like a stork ;)
This guy was quite far away, so the quality isn't top notch, oh well :)

Danke, Kvelli, ebenso :)

How silly is that rule? Let's start our own freaking sky watch. I do ads too and I think the total revenue from my blog in 8 months must be 15 cents. The rate at which I am going, I'll make 25 dollars in next 15 years. So wait for15 years. I'll have money to buy the broom to fly to visit you:)

You have found an airline that flies to Hungary for 25 Dollars?
Can you give me the name, please?
:D

And Terri has pointed out a Meme that opened up for those reasons.
I'll check it out on Friday :)
