'Chased off!'

'Chased off!' (Circus assimilis)

Hi all, I saw in 'opus' that not many photos have been posted so thought to share this one.
I was getting ready to take Pete out as he was a bit housebound due to the weather and I was loading up the car with the camera when I heard the local Magpies making a bit of a din, looked up and saw that they were chasing this Spotted Harrier away from our chicken pen, must have been eyeing off lunch LOL....got in a few shots with Pete yelling at me from the house to say that something was going on!....when I had lost sight of it the Magpies turned their attention on another intruder that must have had the same idea, a Little Falcon, only got off a shot to confirm its ID.....chickens all safe :)....Hope you all enjoy!
