    Well done. Hard to see the vole but the blood on the bill says it all. Does this species nest in tree cavities? (It looks a lot like our Burrowing Owl.) Was the left side of the frame shaded somewhat?

    I love the tree bark surrounding your little owl and the pose is great. The blood on the beak and the vole add so much to this image. Very well captured.

    Hi Jan,

    impressive image.... Congrats,
    do you know a place, where you can find the owls regularly?

    I would be happy to get in touch with them (like I already said in the european forum).
