I like to get action shots and for this one I noted that a pair of Chestnut-headed Bee-eaters had a favourite perch. I then prefocussed on the perch and waited for incoming flights....and then 'machine-gunned' when a green-yellow blur approached.

Canon EOS1DX, 500mm f4. f8, 1/3200, ISO 3200


Cheers
