Northern Hawk-Owl

Time for another post and this time the rarely seen Northern Hawk-Owl. It has only been seen four times in the last 100 years in the Netherlands. That was untill last weekend, when it was spotted in the town of Zwolle.
Birdwatchers and nature photographers came from all corners of the land for a glimps of this beautiful bird.
I was fortunate enough to photograph it on Thursday 28th Nov nicely exposed on a branch and also as the cherry on the cake, with a freshly captured mouse. Who knows when we'll see one again!
