EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this incredible snapshot captured by George Reszeter, we witness an extraordinary display of teamwork and romance among Montagu's Harriers. The male, elegantly dressed in shades of grey, gracefully drops a tasty treat from high above to his beloved female below. While the female diligently tends to their precious chicks, the male skillfully catches the falling morsel before it reaches the ground. In perfect synchrony, she swiftly ascends towards him with outstretched wings and eager anticipation as he releases the delectable prize into her awaiting beak. This mesmerizing food pass happens within a blink of an eye – lasting no more than a couple of seconds! It showcases not only their exceptional hunting abilities but also their unwavering commitment to each other and their growing family. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Extremadura in Spain during April, these magnificent birds demonstrate true cooperation and impeccable behavior. Their aerial ballet serves as a reminder that even in nature's realm, love knows no bounds. So let this image remind us all that sometimes sharing truly is caring – whether you're dropping off lunch for your loved one or witnessing these marvelous Montagu's Harriers perform their sky-high dining routine!
