Access, deadly Claws

[Eric Dienesch]

Another Result from my trip to the short-eared owls,
that were at the german north sea coast.
I am still addicted and faszinated from this day.

Here I would say:

Look at this claws, a mouse has NO CHANCE to survive.



I hope you like this scene.. Comments welcome !!

Eric:

I like the action, composition, exposure. Claws do look lethal for small prey.

Were snacks provided for him, or was he just hunting on his own?

I can see why you love these guys.

Cheers

Great action shot. Love the intense look and the talons ready to pounce.

Very well caught action Eric, did it get the Vole? Smashing the way that those lovely striped feathers down the flank show up, fine piece of work.

Wow, what a great capture of this amazing owl. Good for you to track this bird while it hunted. It must have taken a lot of patience, but I bet you enjoyed every minute. I am glad we see enough of the face, and those claws are something to be wary of!!!
