Female Marsh Harrier under pressure, Rohrweihe unter Druck

This Female Marsh Harrier has alarmed the gulls on their nests.The gulls follow the Harrier, and because they are much faster, the eagle comes under pressure.

Diese Rohrweihe hat die Möwen auf ihren Nestern beunruhigt. Die Möwen lassen sich das nicht gefallen. Sie verfolgen die Rohrweihe und weil sie viel schneller sind, kommt der Greif unter Druck.

The bird of prey in this clip is not an eagle! Its a Harrier! Possibly a female Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus)

WOW! Das sehe ich ja jetzt erst. Da hast Du aber eine spektakuläre Szene festgehalten.Toll!

@selasen Danke! Das war ein Schuss aus der Hüfte, ich wusste ja vorher nicht was sich da am Himmel entwickelt.

Ha, King of the Air gets outnumbered by gulls.. Who would have thought...

Great footage ;-)

@stefkastefkastefka There remains the question, who is the King of the air? Can you hear the laughter of gulls?

@lmmsl I hope so too! This square is teeming with birds. At my job I am counting the hours until I finally get back there. It is truly a special place. Much nicer than my office ;-)

[lmmsl]

@mbhsug Yes , I think your expression is ok and the Eagle would have been a bit ashamed of the defeat :)

Hope to see another video like this... ..hehe

@lmmsl I think it is a young male. This eagle is small. Perhaps he's slipped in the final year. (Is it the right word? "slipped"?) I have seen such an air battle many years ago. At the time it took half an hour. It was a big, experienced eagle. It was his joy, again and again to fly in a large group of coots.
