Absolutely worth taking, Geoff. It's always interesting to see one raptor harassing another. While they don't get a free pass just by all being members of Accipitriformes, I've certainly not seen these two species doing it.

I'm amazed that the Sprawk would hassel the much bigger Buzzard. A great moment to capture Geoff.

Lol, it appears it's pretty good at too!!! Fabulous action shot with marvelous stop-action and taken in a beautiful blue sky. First-rate Geoff!!!
