Hi Peter,

I do not see than ever before, then I will hardly see a great visual effect in a way that captures the nature of the show did. Timing for the chance we love nature. In the meantime, when reviewing a portfolio of pictures and we usually share with striking images were captured. In the meantime, a nature photographer is a very exotic at the same time the next opportunity to see the country you find a lucky nature has to tell us that the title of discoverer. I am very appreciative of work. I also find the opportunity to write comments, including these photos to share these days for all the photos that I would offer my most sincere thanks. Best regards...

Best regards...

Mehmet.

Hallo Peter
Wow this must have been an unbelievable sight. Although the immediate attack is not shown in the photograph, the position and the body language of the kite, shows the assault well .One can actually see the "cold" look in the crow’s eyes with no mercy. Despite the situation in which the kite was when you photographed it, the wingspan is beautifully displayed. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely weekend.
Best regards.

hello Peter,
A very interesting action-shot and well taken. You pressed on the button at the right moment. Around my house I can often observe these attacks, having a lot of crows in the neighbourhood and every time another big bird arrives there are the same fights.Great document.
Thanks and kind regards

Hi Peter,
What a dramatic action shot.
Those crows are really aggressive. I have seen them attack anything that flies.
Great in-the-air capture of all three birds with wings spread out.
Wonderful timing.

Hi Peter,

A very decisive shot. Good focus and dof, nice blue background. Well caught.
(I have posted a shot very similar to this some time ago, it was a wild red kite not far from where I used to live. They are often mobbed by crows and jackdaws. unfortunately not some many comments on mine) Thanks for showing a good shot.

Ha Peter,

Ik had deze nog niet gezien maar de gevechtsactie is ongelooflijk. Prachtig vastgelegd! Vooral de symmetrie van de kraaien is schitterend. Als de roofvogel ook nog een de andere kant op had gekeken, was de foto echt helemaal perfect geweest.
Bedankt!

groet,
Zeno.
