Spotted Harrier (Circus assimilis)

A few months ago I had the pleasure of photographing this incredible species just a kilometre or so from my house. Had a great time watching the Harrier hunt. He would hover close to the ground and dive into the long grass. This is among the first few keepers taken with my 500mm f4 ... Such a great experience! :)
