The harrier wrapped it's claws around the ducks head. KESHOPUR WETLANDS, GURDASPUR, PUNJAB, INDIA: THE HEART-STOPPING moment a marsh harrier swooped in and snatched a one-pound tasty duck takeaway has been revealed. Incredible images of the shock quack attack showed the 21-inch long bird of prey as it launched an ambush on an unsuspecting wading duck. Despite the duck?s best efforts to resist being snatched, the 28-ounce harrier grabbed its next meal by the head and flew off. The pictures were taken in Keshopur Wetlands, Gurdaspur, Punjab, India, by civil judge and hobby wildlife photographer Vishesh Kamboj (38) from Ferozepur, Punjab, India, using his Nikon D500 camera. According to Vishesh, the struggle took just 30 seconds and he witnessed the act of nature from 164-feet away from the action. The western marsh harrier is a large bird of prey with a wingspan of around four-feet often found in western Eurasia and Africa. It typically feeds on small mammals, birds, insects, reptiles and frogs. / Vishesh Kamboj
