How thrilling, no matter the angle, no matter the lighting, as this Black-thighed Falconet suddenly flew right in as I approached. And I knew immediately that it had a prey as it was too preoccupied to heed my approach even as it was mere metres away and low too.
It may be a small insect prey, a dragonfly, but it's characteristic of the Falconet to tear the insect apart as it consumed it unlike, say the bee-eaters that will swallow whole this kind of insect prey.
And then it was on the hunt again.
When it's rare to have this one down so low, I was ready to attempt some flight shots ...
... but was conned by its eventual exit path!
