Soaring Australasion harrier hawk

Again not the greatest shot, but another step in another challenge - to get a decent shot of a Harrier!

This one was scaring the native grey teal ducks. The harrier is a self introduced bird (about 1000 years ago from Australia - from fossil record) and in the past would not have been the only duck predator. At the time the harrier is thought to have arrived there was another harrier still living 4 times bigger than the harrier.
