Chance on this regular winter visitor which was perched on a low lying tree in the midde of the padi field. It was about 500 ft or so from the track. There was no way for me to get closer. All this photos are cropped at least 50% from the max out zoom range of the Coolpix P1000. I have to do post editting to enhance the the hazy and wash up pictures though.
It is common whenever there are predator birds other birds will gang together to confront them especially tiny owlet.

| There were several crows harrassing the raptor The time was about 10am and there is not much breeze to entice the GSE to take flight. After about 10 minutes it decide to land on the thick undergrowth below and the crow also left the scene satisfied that the raptor is no longer a threat I guess............ |
