Oh shit that’s an incredible shot is it yours?

Thanks, yeah it's mine, wish I had more spare time to shoot stuff like this. Lots of hanging around with wildlife photography!

Yeah this is an absolutely outstanding shot. Did you edit the sky to get the moon in that position? Doesn’t really look like it to me, looks pretty much straight out of camera tbh

I must admit I did move it a little bit heh. It was just off to the side and I couldn't help myself. Glad to hear it's not an obvious 'shop!

Maybe it just swooped in to save it from falling off the branch? 😁

At first I was like " damn, it prey on entire trees? Well at least they're easy to catch, I guess 🤷" but then I zoomed in to see the actual prey 😁
