What on earth is he eating? Lovely capture, I'm yet to really get one of these babies sharp on film yet :( I've had 2 chances and blown them both over the past 5 months. Very sharp shot, and good DOF.

I've had a 3rd and 4th look and still can't make it what it might have been (emphasis on the word been lol). They're vicious buggers aren't they!

Very nice shot. Very sharp. The prey might have been a hopper of some sort?
