    Default Wing and a Prayer

    Trying out my new lens, was lucky enough to spot my little Kingfisher friend with a praying mantis in its beak, started to take some pics and like a flash a blue headed lizard came rushing down the branch and launched itself at the bird to try and grab the mantis.

    F5.6
    Iso 1250

    Sharpen AI Topaz, cropped and some touching up in PS

    If the pics were sharper and if the last frame where the lizard actually launched itself were there it would have been epicName:  King Fisher Series Small.jpg

    I don't think I have ever seen a bird on here with a praying mantis before. I would burn the perch down some.
