I though that I'd join Gary Fairhead in sharing more Great Grey images if you're not too tired of them yet. I posted one shot last week where a Great Grey had stopped in mid air and began a striking dive into the snow for a wild mouse or vole. So here's the rest of that sequence that I managed to catch.

Excellent set of shots. You've done really well to hit focus on the eye on a moving bird like this.

Great shots, Stephen; it's amazing how they lock their eyes and ears on the target and everything else follows in due time.

Very nice "On The Hunt" series here Stephen. I can tell from the second and third images just exactly where you were when you photographed this bird. A great spot for Great Greys.

Wayne thank you. This was my first time photographing GGOs for at least 5 years.
