Visiteurs d’hiver
- oiseau de proie
Nous avons toujours beaucoup de neige ici, gelee comme du beton. En depit de ca, ou peut-etre a cause de ca, la faune est toujours bien en evidence. Aujourd’hui nous avons eu deux faucons dans l’air autour de nous. Je ne connais pas leur espece, si quelqu’un le sait j’aimerais bien le savoir.

- renard
En meme temps, ce renard se baladait dans les champes d’a cote. Nous l’avons vu de loin avant, mais ceci est le plus proche qu’on l’a vu.
Moins spectaculaires, mais aussi belles, nous avons des insects qui s’invite chez nous de temps en temps. Ce papillon de nuit et un de deux qui s’est montre dernierment. J’espere qu’ils peuvent survivre l’hiver!

Love the fox, Tony! Gorgeous animal. Great shot of the raptor too. Amazing that anybody can find food when the land is ice, but somehow they manage. Thank you for sharing.

I never get to see the wildlife around here, our home is located in the middle of other houses. I do on the other hand often find the tracks from them when I’m out walking in the area so I know they are there. =)
My parents and my grandmother live in a village and they feed the wild animals during the winter. Every time I’m there to visit I hope to get to see some of it, but this far I’ve only seen birds. Last year they had a wolf with a radio collar passing by too, unfortunately someone decided it would be a good idea to kill it.

Shannon, we see lots of evidence of voles or mice in the fields, spoil-heaps from their tunnels are everywhere. We may even have more wildlife here than you do, even if it isn’t quite so big or close.
Sanna, shame that you don’t get to see things from where you live. We moved only a mile or two further into the country from where we were before, and now we see all sorts of things. Unfortunately, killing animals for fun is also popular here. I once bought a greek phrase book from a french store, and a large chunk of it was about ‘where can I buy a hunting license’, ‘can I kill that’, and so on. Maybe these people should only be allowed to hunt each other, that might solve a few problems.

Spectacular photos. How absolutely breathtaking it would be to see a fox… we hope to see one around our place someday. Enjoyed your comments about our owl. We hope to capture more wildlife photos in the future, such as the wonderful mosaic you have provided to your viewers.
