Heres yesterdays image.
Image 059 is a migrant Northern Wheatear with a rather large dragonfly! I found it like this so dont know whether the dragonfly was dead already or whether the Wheatear caught it. With a few head flicks the dragonfly broke up easily allowing the wheatear to continue its journey north on a very full stomach.

The food seems very large in comparison to the size of the bird. A full stomach, as you say!
Yes indeed. I’m inclined to think the dragonfly was dead already as it is a very large food item and probably would have been too large for the Wheatear to catch.
That would seem likely, right enough. Great picture, by the way.
Great capture.
Thanks Rory. Thanks for stopping by.
