Kestrel vs Barn Owl

Kestrel vs Barn Owl

Amazing photographs capture Kestrel and Barn Owl's battle over vole

This is the incredible moment a Kestrel is caught on camera stealing lunch - from the jaws of a Barn Owl.


Wildlife photographer Mark Hancox was in the right place and the right time to get these images of a cheeky kestrel stealing a barn owl's breakfast... Photo: MARK HANCOX / NEWSTEAm

...The kestrel chose its moment well before pouncing and snatching the mouse out of the owl's beak in the blink of an eye, leaving the hapless owl without his early morning meal Photo: MARK HANCOX / NEWSTEAM
