Merlin (Falco columbarius)

This Merlin had just caught a dragonfly in it's talons. They mostly eat small birds, caught in flight, but they do also eat a variety of large aerial insects. This image was taken a couple of years ago but I only came across it again today when looking through my archives.

 

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
