Talon grappling in 4 easy steps

They're at it again! (Remember back in March?)
Territorial dispute between male buzzards with ( presumably) the female as onlooker. Cropped in so you can see the action (buzzards do fly high up!).
View the 4 easy steps here or see them in all their glory starting here.
and remember that all the while they are free-falling to the earth...

Sigh.. All this while I was finishing the border!! Yay!!
