The action all starts with the SEO catching a vole and is quickly spotted and chased by a female harrier. The SEO drops to the ground trying to protect its catch but the harrier is non- relenting in its chase causing the owl to let go of the vole and try fending off the harrier. In the end the harrier wins by flying off with the vole tucked safely against its body. Incredible to watch action like this let alone capture some of it with my camera.
