User's notes

This Collared Sparrowhawk caught a Magpie Lark mid-flight slammed it down in the water then flew off with it but lost it and the Magpie Lark flew off. The Collared Sparrowhawk sulked in a nearby tree for a few seconds before flying off. All happened so fast.

Great sequence of photos and a great escape for the magpie-lark.
