A rare kill
This is a scene I normally see on a regular basis.
You can see clearly in this shot the damage inflicted by the owls powerful talons on it's hapless prey.
Sadly this year vole numbers have plummeted and kills are few and far between.
Hopefully the owls will pull through.
Barn owl (Tyto alba)
