It made short work of honeybee - sting and all - in Tyto today.
But Rainbow Bee-eaters unlikely to resent the catch.
Seldom see them buzzing after honeybees.

Oh, wow! Lovely shots. That bee obviously didn't stand a chance.
It's great the way that the dragonfly's colours are so similar to those of the (non-bee-eating) bee-eater. Makes a delightful sequence.

Stunning images of the Bee-eaters
Hi Bronwyn. Been cold of a night here too. Not gloved up yet though. Hadn't thought too much about colour parallels. Coincidence only, would you think?
Thanks Kerryn. They've been sitting around for a while and tied in nicely with dagonfly's capture.
Thanks Kerryn.
We especially enjoyed the dragonfly photos Tony - they certainly have the wow factor!
