Broad-billed Motmot and emerald cicada for lunch!
This was a big lunch for a Broad-billed Motmot!
It was interesting to watch it perching for a while on a nice mossy branch.
These birds have superb eyesight and they can spot their prey from a long distance.
The cicada was at least 10 meters away from the bird, then it flew to catch it and returned to its perch to eat it in front of me while I was taking lots of shots, this being one of the series.
