It wasn't easy at all trying to photograph it because of the backlight but I simply had to get it because it was the first time I saw it right in the taman, and not on the highest tree. Then I saw that it was a juvenile which could explain its uncharacteristic perch.
It was on the lookout and finally did get what looked like a dragonfly.
It was incredible that this sharp-eyed bird could actually spot me as I was shooting through a rather small opening among the leaves.
Notice its extraordinary large eyes for a tiny bird. It only measures about 15 cm.
Prey at claws.
The leftover wing of what looked like a dragonfly's, before the wing was completely swallowed up.
And then it's preening time, rubbing its bill against the branch.
