This photo was taken this morning and at first I could not find the owl but it seems once the sun came out he appeared. Taken with 5D and a 300mm f2.8 lens with 1.4 TC.
I saw him go down into the grass and after a few minutes back up he came with what ever breakfast is. The thing that amazed me was four gulps and it was gone but he had his back to me which was a shame but you take what you can get. The picture has a crop but not to much just to clear away empty space.
Adjusted in CS3 and Bibble lite
All suggestions welcomed and appreciated

Hi Dave,
This one looks much better . Colour and Sharpness are good. Looks like breakfast is a Short Tailed Vole. Well seen and taken.
Pity you didn’t have more of a head turn, as otherwise this is an excellent capture. Nice one.

Not surprised the vole was wolfed down quick as they get chased off kills by all sorts of other birds. Pity it didn't turn for you but a really nice capture from the circumstances you had
