Buzzard just before it caught a vole, Montrose Basin

I was stalking a Kingfisher to no avail when I saw this fella near the old harbour at Montrose Basin and as I was trying to get a still in the fading light it dropped out of the tree onto a vole. The link below misses some of the kill but shows the demise of the vole very quickly.
