This beautiful bird of prey, the harrier, flies above the reeds. This landscape with tall trees and a wide reed belt is its natural habitat and nesting area. In spring, it flies back and forth with nesting material to build its nest in the reeds, a beautiful sight! In this photo, the bird of prey flies in the soft early morning light, low over the wide reed belt, looking for a good spot for its nest. The tall trees in the background are his safe resting place, with a view of any prey to be caught, such as moles, frogs and mice. It takes a lot of patience to take a picture like this, they are quick, and only come by occasionally to inspect the reeds, then sometimes stay away for half an hour to an hour, only to suddenly reappear. So it is important to stay focused, to capture this brief moment of flight beautifully in the photo. The soft tones give the photo a lovely atmosphere, with the bird of prey standing out beautifully against the background. A beautiful and soothing photo for on the wall.
