Incredible action Tony. I have witnessed this behavior with two harriers and have dreamed about a full frontal full frame sequence all the way to the river. Thanks so much for sharing this incredible display.

Thanks, Mick. I am lucky if I get to see one harrier within shooting range.

Aaaaah some nice aerial kung-fu from the BE

what a scene!

Thanks, Nello. I heard a rumour that you have a 500mm that you lend out.

You definitely need to get yourself an 800, Tony; don't want to let another moment like this slip by!

Even though you were far from the action - the perspective gives me a what is probably a realistic sense of how special this likely was to see firsthand. Love the background, sharpness, and pre-engagement timing of shot 1.

Have you seen this firsthand before? Must be amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Jeepers! Wow! awesome action. Looks like you were up in the air with them in #1, Tony.

Thanks, Bonnie. Good idea, maybe I should get a hot-air balloon.

The rush is not with the camera but to witness that. What a great series. Thanks.

You must have been thrilled to get these, Tony. A super, rarely-photographed behavioral series.

Best Wishes,
