A Montagu's Harrier after a quick meal

            Another shot from last year's birding season. This Montagu's Harrier used to loiter around the lake bed hunting for insects - usually the large short horned grasshoppers which were found in plenty. Here she hunted one, consumed the insect and rested for a minute before taking off.

This year Montagu's are hard to find somehow. Though Pallid Harriers seem to be thriving and are easy to sight along with Western Marsh Harriers. 

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
