Great job getting this one with a meal!
I don't remember seen it before. Lovely light and stunning bird, thanks for sharing.

It looks very sharp considering the 2X teleconverter on the 500 mm lens. I like the head turn, the neat eye contact and, of course, the big dragonfly in the beak. Light is a bit intense to my taste but the shooting angle helps to minimize the presence of shadows. Fantastic job for such a low shutter speed :)
