The lovers link legs. SPAIN: THESE two one-pound harrier birds have been caught in an epic clash over dominance. Thrilling images showed the pair of Western marsh harriers, who have a wingspan of up to 55 inches, facing off mid-air. In one picture the birds are captured linking claws as one struggles to push the other to the ground. The feathery fight was photographed by professional wildlife photographer José Antonio Hurtado (53), from Encinas Reales, Spain. He shot the brawling birdies at the Laguna de El Taray, Spain. éAntonioHurtado/jahurtadosfoto
