Predator and Prey

[Neanderthal]

I'm still sorting out my photos from a recent trip to California and thought I'd share these.

We were stood talking in the campground and had to quickly duck backwards as the hawk flew between us. He had spotted a golden ground squirrel just behind where were standing. Fortunately the camera was out and handy and I managed to grab a few pictures.

The squirrel made his escape down a hole. Phew!

Looks like a red-tailed hawk to me, an American (and bigger) relative of our own buzzard.
