NF Photo 1106 17 in Storulvån, Lill-Ulvåfjället/Ohtje



This owl tried to lure us away from a spot that probably was it´s nest. They  usually have the nest on the ground. I think you can see how "badly injured" it is on the wings in the last shot. It kept it´s eyes on us at all times. A thrill to watch. :)
