This is the resident cat at Mahukona Beach Park. The rock he’s standing beside has a natural bowl at the top and people fill it with water for the birds. I call the cat Killer because, when he sees a bird go for a drink, he races out, stations himself at the base of it, and then leaps up trying to snag a victim.
A couple of mornings ago, I saw him leap from this spot and miss his quarry, but sometimes he’s successful. Feathers in the bowl attest to that. The birds here are not native species, so he’s not contributing to their decline, though that’s not the case elsewhere on the island.

Great photo. Normally I would be unhappy at the cat killing the birds but not being endemic birds sort of makes it OK

I feel the same way. He should take out some of the roosters down there, but he doesn’t mess with them!

I’m afraid the name’s probably accurate, Graham xx

The light was very nice and I was happy he posed so nicely for me.
