Another shot from last week's session. Not got the eye contact of the last one, but I liked the way this showed it hunting.

40D + 500mm, f7.1 at ISO 500 for 1/500
Tripod
About 2/3rds of original frame, from memory one grass stem removed

Comments welcome :smile:

A very nice capture the softness in the wings adds to the shot. Nice one.

They really are stunning birds and you have capture the concentration of the hunt very well.

Many thanks for the feedback, always appreciated.
Was out again with this pair of owls at the weekend so will no doubt be subjecting you to more shots as they are processed! :biggrin:
