“Great Grey Owl”. My favourite animal is the great grey owl. They are absolutely beautiful creatures, flying silently through the forests. I travelled to Finland to try to find these owls in early 2014. After many fruitless efforts driving around snow covered fields, I spotted this owl silhouetted against the sky in a tree. Using dead voles to supplement their diet through the winter (sourced from local people who catch them already), I was able to capture this image of an individual swooping down to its meal. This one image made the whole trip very worthwhile, and I will treasure the experience forever. Photo location: Finland. (Photo and caption by Will Nicholls/National Geographic Photo Contest)
