Very nice!

And, . . . with the insect in its beak to boot!

Wonderful details and color with an exceptional moment of flight caught with just enough blur in that distant wing tip to show movement. That nice creamy background couldn't be better to make the Bird pop in the frame.

We don't have these on this side of the big pond, . . . at least in the Midwest, wish we did!

What I really like most in the details in the pattern & coloration of its tail feathers with the two darker feathers in the center without the white tips in coloration. Stands out like the Rudder of an Airplane!

One of the best Bird shots I've seen here in awhile.

Cheers & Regards,
