White Storks figting for a vole

[Tordan58]

Hi,

Sharing a sequence I am rather pleased with: White Storks chasing a vole trying to escape. The action took place while a farmer was mowing a meadow. I was fortunate to notice something was going on at distance while driving on the highway. Find an exit on the highway, make it back, find an exit and a way through a maze of dirt roads, and lastly deploy the setup just in time.

Thanks for looking

Great action in the first but all three are excellent

Great action, Tordan! Nice to hear about the effort, too, and good to hear you made it back! Too many times the action is over... Well deserved!
