Again it was one more occasion that I was too shocked and engrossed in the entire incident that I didn't have an iota of opportunity to record the seizure and attempted rescue, even as the entire episode was over in seconds. This reminded me of another occasion when the Goshawk (the very same bird) seized a lineated barbet, also right before me - post of 13 April 2018 (http://rimbakiara.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-juvy-that-never-made-it.html)
All I got of this latest incident were images of the triumphant Goshawk with glimpses of feathers of its catch securely grasped before it flew off to feast on its prey.
And this was the very bird that a couple of us birders were just admiring an hour ago.
On re-examining these images I guess it was already scanning then for its morning meal.
