Marsh Harrier - The lady is a killer
She had been at it all day., patrolling the edge of the lake.,causing general mayhem amongst the other birds without actually making a 'move' for any of them., she always majestically glided back to the reed bed and everything returned to normal
Edging towards the end of the day., the sun about to melt over the horizon., she was back!
This time with serious intent., Repeatedly swooping down this large and powerful bird of prey demonstrating what she is all about
We were not expecting it., and neither was the Grebe she targeted., this was an stunning exhibition you don,t get to see often
The Grebe did finally escape (just)., we got our photographs., and I also expect sooner rather than later this magnificent raptor did get her evening meal as well!
