Title: Rainbow Bee-Eater (Australia)
Post by: Glenn Bartley on October 25, 2019, 07:41:54 am

Here's a fun little sequence I shot a few weeks ago in Australia of a Rainbow Bee-Eater scarfing down a dragonfly.

These images were captured with the new Canon 90D. If you would like to see more of my thoughts on this camera you can read them here - http://www.glennbartley.com/Canon90DSetupReviewandSettings.html

When I first started shooting birds, I always marveled at how all birds instinctively know they have to have their prey go down head first - fish, winged critters, snakes, if it moved, it went in head first which in many instances such as this makes for a great visual story in itself as to how they make the flip, catch and swallow...great sequence captured here.
