    We came upon this sighting after the actual attack, and not really sure if the harrier was the perpertrator, if it was, it would be some feat as they aren't a lot bigger than the guinea fowl itself.
    It settled down to feed after we approached as stealthly as one can in a vehicle.

    Very nice timing and wing position. Good action scene with nice habitat.

    Marc:

    Sharp, well exposed, great sense of action. Good colors. I suspect it was killed by something else, but still a powerful story.

    Cheers
