Dinner time !! Eurasian Kestrel having her meal. photography

in #photo6 years ago (edited)

After i went through my images...I do think this is the moment the decapitation is taking place.
You can see her holding her prey tight with her talons and watch how she rips that part of with her beak.

Wow. i'm so happy with this one...

This is the real cruel nature taking place... It is what it is and one has to eat :)

Photographed from car with the Canon 7D and Sigma 300mm+1.4 tc. @420mm.

For those that want to know.

Distance to subject. 10 meters...

Nice capture. Nature can be beautiful and cruel at the same time.

It is :) But for me as a photographer to capture those moments is very exciting.
