Blue tailed bee eater with catch
Blue tailed bee-eater with prey by wildlens2, on Flickr
It was an amazing sight watching these blue tailed bee-eaters catch insects in flight, to offer it to the females as part of their courtship.
photographing them was a challenge, climbing on the sandy hillock nearby helped to get the eye level perspective.
Canon 7D with canon 400mmf5.6L lens ISO 800 aperture priority, 1/3200 @ f7.1
Wow you caught this in flight
looks in good focus and the colors of the bird have come out very nicely , the catch is a big big plus, i also like the BG
Its very difficult to get these in focus and you have nailed it pretty well, love it.
A sweet BG to compliment the great flight shot. The fly adds a lot too.
Really nice image the roller pops against the BG
