I am debating if this is photoshopped or if the birds learned too much from observing us humans.:):)! What an incredible shot!V

Sean, this is outstanding, simply outstanding.


A previous commenter was wondering if this was photoshopped - let me assure you, it is not.  I've witnessed the behaviour many times.  The SEO makes the kill and will try to hide it (or consume it right away).  Often the harriers will catch on and will try to steal the kill.  Most of the time, they're successful.


Getting a shot like this is not easy.  Getting and keeping both birds in focus is a big challenge.  So hats off to you for this shot, Sean.  Well done!

This is an outstanding shot capturing a very special and dynamic moment. The birds are very sharp and the background perfectly blurred. But the motif - amazing!

Wonderful  interaction.

Every time I view it  it continues to amaze me. I agree this may be a once in a lifetime catch.

Superb timing Sean
