Juvenile Brush Cuckoo leads off a short series of birds making recent captures in Tyto. Some birds are secretive and in a hurry to devour prey - in case Spangled Drongos or other would-be thieves turn up - but few fight over cuckoos' catches.

Female Cicadabird about to make short work of a katydid.

Great captures Tony.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the Kingfisher.
ReplyDeleteDelightful! (I have to keep thinking up new words to say the same thing - and I'm not even a 'journo'!)
ReplyDeleteGreat series Tony.
