Re: Wildlife
The owl actually went for the pine marten in the next picture I got (1 second later) but missed. I didn't post that picture because it was so blurry due to all of the movement.

Re: Wildlife
Per request - here is entire sequence of 3 pictures. In the first if you look very closely you can barely see the owl eyes. The time from the 1st picture to the 3rd picture was two seconds.
