Ashy woodswallow with dragonfly

[Ihtisham Kabir]

A bunch of dragonflies were flying in circles when this bird came out of nowhere and grabbed one. It then went around once allowing me to take this picture. I waited around for more action but none came. In Purbachol, Bangladesh.

Thanks for looking. C/C welcome. Ihtisham

Hi Ihtisham, this image is OOF (out of focus) so unfortunately despite the cool prey and behavior it's not a keeper. just way too soft and grainy.

It's tough to get a frame like this with the 100-400 MKI, If you can buy the MKII lens, it will greatly improve your chances to get shots like this sharp (and lots of practice)

Superb timing but unfortunately the techs are weak as per Arash's comments.
