EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this thrilling aerial spectacle captured by wildlife photographer George Reszeter, we witness a heartwarming act of teamwork and romance among Montagu's Harriers. As the male gracefully soars above, he drops a delectable meal - a bird - to his beloved female below. Talk about an impressive food pass! While the female diligently tends to their precious chicks on the ground, she wastes no time in seizing this opportunity for a quick snack. In just a matter of seconds, she swiftly ascends towards her partner as he skillfully releases the mouthwatering morsel from his talons. This incredible display of cooperation and trust showcases nature's remarkable ability to create harmonious partnerships. The male's impeccable aim and timing combined with the female's agile flight skills make for an awe-inspiring sight that leaves us marveling at their synchronized dance in mid-air. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Extremadura, Spain, these magnificent birds exemplify both strength and tenderness as they navigate through open skies. Their bond serves as a reminder that love knows no bounds - not even when it comes to securing dinner! So next time you're craving some excitement or longing for your own romantic gesture, take inspiration from these majestic Montagu's Harriers.
