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.

Great captures Tony.
Great shot of the Kingfisher.
Delightful! (I have to keep thinking up new words to say the same thing - and I'm not even a 'journo'!)
Great series Tony.
Hi Tony
Great images and a nice theme.
Very challenging to get such great images of prey.
Cheers
Denis
Thanks all.
