The harrier lowers itself again to catch it's prey. If you look at the bittern, it's as if you hear it shouting at the harrier to get away from him/her

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE the bittern gets lucky !!!
The marsh harrier was just fooling around and decides to let go of the bittern. The bittern was in that area for quite some time but the harrier did not even bother to get back to the bittern's location. The bittern got safely back inside the reeds
:) THE END :)
