Bird Snatches Prey In Mid-Air
06/30/09 - Amazing
“Swooping down with its talons at the ready the bird of prey pounced mid-air on the stunned swift. There was a burst of feathers in the tussle but it was always clear who would win. The hobby, part of the falcon family, then flew off with its lunch gripped beneath it. These stunning pictures were captured by keen birdwatcher Clive Newcombe who had been enjoying a picnic when the astonishing scenes unfolded.” w/ photos
