Barn Owl (Tyto alba).
Before I go totally macro this was my favourite shot from a great session with a local Barn Owl a few weeks ago.
After waiting a couple of hours and the Owl generally at the other end of a large field, I suddenly had the bird quite close as it hunted voles.
Moments after this shot was taken the bird dropped down and caught a Vole and then seconds later swallowed the small animal.
