Red squirrel 05772 163 Dumfriesshire - Lockerbie Red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), Eskrigg Reserve, Lockerbie 19 April 2014
Hen harrier food pass 05765 161 Dumfriesshire - Langholm Moor Hen harrier (Circus cyaneus) pair in a food pass. The male brings food to the female, who flips upside down to receive it. A food pass can take place either during courtship, as in this case, or during brooding of the chicks later in the season, when the female is mostly on the nest and the male does much of the hunting. This image was created by combining many shots taken in rapid succession to form a composite image, which gives an impression of the food pass, in which the male Hen harrier (above), carrying food, catches up with the female, who flips over to receive the prey item he drops for her, often a vole or a Meadow pipit, or sometimes a Red grouse chick. 19 April 2014
