Short eared owl
Intent on his prey. Shortly after this shot, he launched and caught a vole, only to have it stolen by a nearby harrier.
It's often the small details that appeal to me in a photo - here you can see a spattering of rain droplets and a mosquito rider on the owl's back (best viewed "Large 1600").
