I was practically benumbed by her beauty, but first she devoured a vole before my very eyes. Yesterday, by the Humber. Anyhow, she got into her postprandial tricks and I snapped away...
All good things and a happy new year,
Jack Breakfast

Many thanks, gentle birdfriends...very lucky was I, and on Christmas Eve, no less...and seeing as this is a "photo corner" I'll give the settings: iso800, 1/800, f4.
