What's for breakfast, a mouse? Nice capture of this moment. The bird looks a bit soft on my monitor and I wish it were angled towards you. I might crop a bit off the top.

Good catch, the two of you.
It seems that the heat and harsh light effect the overall quality,
The lower parts of the bird are a bit noisy, it looks a little soft to me as well.

Ken, seems like you have travelled around a bit recently, lucky guy, knowing some of the places you have visited. This is a tasty meal for him, as the last time I saw these guys, they were foraging through elephant dung for bugs.
