A starling manages to escape the grasp of a magpie which had grabbed it by the feathers on its head. The larger bird caught the starling after a 'hellish fight' and wanted to feed it to its young.

These photos were taken by amateur photographer Albert Beukhof in the city of Arnhem in the Netherlands.
