Around the apartment - Bahama Bay

The verandah at the back of the apartment overlooked some lawn, a hedge, and some rough ground, as well as a line of telegraph poles and wires. Overall not perhaps the prettiest view, but actually quite good for wildlife. I missed the armadillo Kay watched one morning, but we both watched the absolutely gorgeous swallow-tailed kite that floated by one day. No pictures - the flyscreen meant they weren't worth taking - but one of those memories that will stick. Probably the most graceful bird I've ever watched.
The Loggerhead shrike used the wires one day.
We saw these red shouldered hawks using one of the telegraph poles as a table for eating the lizards they were catching - and one that got away at the end.
One day the hawks were lower down, in the trees, and to my surprise one let me walk right underneath it as you can see. No need for the hard crop I used on the shrike for that one.
The lizard was at the front door one day.
