To get such good photos of hawks in the wild?

Native meaning: that they naturally occur and breed in New Zealand (opposed to being deliberately or accidentally introduced).<br /><br />Each of these species fulfils a unique role in our ecosystem making them vital to the maintenance of a healthy New Zealand environment.<br /><br />The New Zealand Falcon specialises in chasing live prey.<br />The Swamp Harrier is usually seen slowly quartering the landscape for food.<br />The Morepork Owl feeds largely on insects within forested landscapes.<br />The Barn Owl occurs in open farmland habitat."Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548985449194828359.post-20870661221788977192018-06-29T08:57:02.557+12:002018-06-29T08:57:02.557+12:00Terrific photos of these hawks, especially the one...Terrific photos of these hawks, especially the ones of them flying away.
