Nice to see a babbler relatively in clear. Good eye contact. The prey is a bonus. The composition looks fine. Thanks for sharing.

Who can excel this bird in agility? Nice capture.
They are NSGs protecting us from dangerous intruders. From where they come and where they go, I do not know. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild
