In his Element.

Another Male Northern Harrier image,
This one taken this morning.
This opportunity with this species is a real treat!
This breeding pair was 'Sky Dancing" today if you have ever seen it.
Amazing to watch them dive like Peregrines.

very sweet file Dan, grey ghost is for sure a rarity and you were quite lucky here. the FG oof branch was unfortunate but worth a shot using the content aware tool in PS to remove it. I'd sharpen the harrier a bit more and tame the highlights, very nice frame with the right BG

Everything looks great here nice pose and light. Background is spot on. Too bad about that branch in the front.
