A western marsh harrier (Circus aeruginosus) speeding through the air in Hailuoto, Finland. This image was captured in mid-August at a local nature reserve where these magnificent raptors have been nesting. While western marsh harriers are usually known for their relatively slow and low quartering flight, this particular individual was exceptionally active, taking incredibly fast and long glides while chasing after its prey.
