Saw this Marsh Harrier swoop down for a hunt at Al Qudra but then found it had "caught" the weed. Wonder if it was nesting. Do they nest here? Was there something like a reptile there between the weed that the harrier went after. It did finally manage to free a large part of the weed that she flew away with.
First,Marsh Harriers can hear things that maybe you missed up. Many times they missed up the catch and stay only with a branch of leaves in the antlers normal sight!
Harrier flew away with the weed.
I wanted to post three photos of the sequence. Looks like it takes one photo at a time.
