Red kyte eating

I caught a female red kyte on top of an electrical pole eating a small rodent (mice or  vole), On the video below, you can see her pull the flesh off its victim with fur flying around them.
After her meal, she peens herself and then has a little rest. This video was taken in January 2016.

   

December 2015, food is getting scarce so a bird feeder full of peanuts is a great treat for this jay.
See the video below to view how this jay collects and hides its peanuts.

Animal rescue - Robin freed from green netting

This little chap was going to be a small snack for magpies.
Luckily the excited noise of the magpie drew my attention to this lucky robin and I managed to get to it before it got attacked.
It was freed within minutes using a small pair of sewing scissors.
I know I should not have green netting in the garden but it is a way for me to protect plants from rabbits...

Below, you can watch the whole rescue which I filmed from a tripod.

Weasel hunting for baby rabbits

As I was walking past my lounge window, I noticed a weasel running around outside on the lawn, eagerly looking for something. I went outside and found a very small rabbit hopping on the lawn several meters away from the weasel. What caught my attention was how small it was. They don’t usually leave their den that young. It was so small that it was still unsteady on its legs. Had it been forced out of its den by the weasel?? I also found another baby rabbit a few meters away, possibly a sibling. That baby rabbit was not hoping, more like crawling on the grass. I realised later than it was a head injury. I did not interfere and left it alone (the other baby rabbit and the weasel had disappeared by that time) as not to upset the parents. Throughout the rest of the day, I kept checking on the baby rabbit from a distance, hoping that a parent would come and rescue it. They never came and the baby eventually died a few hours later. That’s when I found out that it had a very small wound on top of its head below one of the ears. The inside of the ear was bleeding. I wondered if it could have been pecked by a magpie?? But this is just speculation. I simply don’t know what happened. Could you guess what happened??
