Hi
Made this image during a recent trip to Darwin. We were making images of finches at a water-hole when this bird made a lighting swoop to catch the hapless frog and then proceeded to make a meal of it right in front of us!
Your kind comments will be much appreciated!

Whoa, that looks like a dang Cane Toad to me. :( Hope the bird does not get killed eating it. I can see a soft green leaf or something over the bird's right eye. Otherwise a fine image with soft light and nice colors. Thanks for sharing.

Nice overcast light, and behavior. An excellent exposure, and nice habitat included too. There seems to be a line in the upper left where you expanded the canvas.

Keep them coming!

Great behavioral shot with nice focus and background. Agree the the green shadow over the right eye has to be in the foreground. Interesting, complex but non-distracting perch.
