Sudden wingbeats, soft shadow passing near, swift soaring raptor silently skimming grassland hollows. Wheeling, diving, gliding, soaring: Northern Harrier hunts. A different technique: Kite waits up high, watches for unsuspecting vole’s scurrying, then dives straight down, a growing shadow unremarkable to vole below. Harrier sweeps across landscape, suddenly appears over a rise, seizes surprised bird.
Two encounters, separated by an hour in time and a mile in distance. Each going our own way, we meet again.
