A Black-eared Kite (Milvus migrans lineatus) #トビ loses its prey when attacked by two crows. An egret follows in the distance.

I was standing on the street, having just finished a conversation, getting ready to begin my planned walk with camera in hand. and had kind of noticed some noisy birds off in the distance. The sound from behind me got closer suddenly and so I turned quickly, pulling my camera up to my eye, and saw a confused flutter of wings coming right at me at high speed. I managed to snap a few shots blindly and the carcass landed on the road just a couple of steps away. The birds flew off. There were children around, so I picked up the carcass and tossed it down onto the river bank next to the road out of sight. At the end of my walk, a couple of hours later, I returned to the same place and found the carcass still there. Apparently, none of the birds fighting over it won.
