Beak open
Swooping low
Darting eyes piercing the horrified prey
Pattering of soft paws against wheat-covered ground
The panting of a desperate rodent
Fearful eyes
Tail dragging
Whiskers trembling
Quick turn
Close call
Scampering onto hay covered gravel
Horses neighing
Owls hooting
Quick steps scurrying into a hollow log
Bird of prey flies away in despair
