chaos (Plegadis falcinellus)

A marsh harrier was hunting over the marsh and, as usual, the ibises all took off. All of a sudden, a second marsh harrier appeared from the opposite direction, creating a real panic among the ibises. The result was a rather chaotic change of direction of the flock.

What a sight this must have been to see unfold. Looks like there were quite a few in-flight collisions as well. Thanks for the narration and the terrific action shot. TFS JJ!
