I am inclined to agree that Harriers are among the easiest birds of prey to get good pictures of since they will often fly relatively low and the hunting habits are more predictable hence it often pays off to wait at a good spot, but having all parameters converge is a bit of luck.Got lucky here.
The harriers are - easier - as they fly low and return now and then. But though it was early and not that hot, hot air became a problem fast as he was very low over the field. Detail suffered on pic 1, because of this I think.
Very rare that I get these opportunities, since I raely shoot wetlands, and not all have harriers, so it was fun.
Still, these are fine captures, well done!
