Hi Guys,

Cracking pictures Jim, poor fox looks like its wishing it was not there.

I have had the chance to see this in real life years ago, one of the Girls in our karate Club, her father used to keep Birds of Prey and run a sanctuty for them and a sort of kennels if you like when owner were away they left the birds with Martin. In fact it was only 1/2 mile form Lawfield Fishery.

He had a Golden Eagle called Annie and she was awesome, beautiful bird he had been on TV a few times with her and Martin has now passed on and I do believe Annie is in Calderpark Zoo still today.

I had the pleasure to see her fly on several occasions and what a sight, one of the times a fox had got into the front garden and was making off with a customers sparrow hawk and they let annie go on the fox, it did not last long especially from diving height.

Respect awesome Birds

Rgds..Dave

Those photographs tell a great story.

I wonder if the carcass was staked out and a camera with a movement sensor left out to record events? All credit if it was, for the idea and for the execution and even more credit to them if they found the carcass and waited.
