Beautiful silhouette, great exposure and sharpness! How can they swallow those things -- very strong tongues? I watched a WTK a few days ago try to swallow the last half of a vole. After a few minuted i finally had to give up, put its head down and clawed the thing out of its mouth and bit off a little more.

great work I like the prey and its tail, whites are bit too bright and overall a bit more room around the bird would help
