Hen Harrier v Short-eared Owl

A trip out this morning in the lovely clear frosty weather let me witness a confrontation between a Hen Harrier and a Short-eared Owl. The owl had managed to catch a vole which the Harrier was trying to steal from it. It didn't succeed and eventually both went their seperate ways. The fighting shots are fairly well cropped so I just picked out some of the best from the sequence. I always considered the harrier to be much larger than the Owl, but these show that they are quite similar in size.
