Media notes
Incidental nature of sighting meant there was barely enough time to set proper exposure and other values (attached 300mm lens only had manual focus).
Observation details
One of a pair of S. holospilus engaging in usual morning hunt (weather hot enough for thermals to form). Pair was either looking for C. macrorhynchos nests, or latter was spooked or became defensive and territorial as a natural response. Chase happened within a span of a few minutes, but was visible for even less owing to tall trees and foliage around the house. Chase happened around 100ft above observer, close enough to discern underwing patterns on S. holospilus.
