Mustafa merhaba , benim Kızıl Şahinden sonra sende onun en sevdiği avının fotosunu yüklemişsin :) , doğal habitatında oldukça net ve güzel bir komp. olmuş , eline sağlık , bol şanslar...

Hello Mustafa,
This is a very nice and usual animal to me. I guess that it could be the equivalent of the groundhog that we have here. This is a cute capture with good exposure and it is nice to see it near its habitat. This is a well timed capture! Thanks,
Claudine

Mustafa merhaba, yine güzel bir poz, eline sağlık.

Hi Doctor.
Very nice capture. It looks like fear, I think, wherefore Raptorman's buzzards :)
Thanks for showing.
Ahmet
