Face to face with a predator
This Eurasian kestrel is in the act of finishing his diner on a black field vole.<o:p></o:p>
I stalked the bird by crawling on my knees first and then applying the “army crawl” with all body parts down while holding the camera in my hands. The bird allowed an approach of about 15 feet.<o:p></o:p>
I took a number of images and because of the eye contact, this is one of my favourites. Hope you like it too!<o:p></o:p>
Comments are welcome.<o:p></o:p>
