Aerial Combat







No animals were injured in the course of acquiring these photos!
I presume this is a young female Goshawk, (by her size). The corvid is a Raven, of which there were at least 22 in sight at one time this afternoon from the Beacon Ring, where this sequence of high speed agility photos was taken.
