No lunch today

We spotted this Swamp Harrier as it knocked down a Common (or Indian) Myna over a sorghum crop. The lucky bird must have fallen to the ground under the crop and the Harrier couldn't get at it or scare it into leaving. Eventually the Myna picked its moment and shot out and escaped. The Harrier paid no attention to me the whole time as it was so intent on getting at its prey.
