A superb image of this bird and its meal, Javier!

Perhaps the saying "You are what you eat", is somewhat appropriate here, as they seem to match closely in color...

Great sharpness, colors, BG and POV.

Well done, and thank you.

Are you a professional photographer?
Your photos are amazing. You're new, but I think already one of the best photographers here.
This shot is perfect and very interesting.
These birds aren't frequent guests here and this one has even a prey as a bonus.
It's another exceptional post from you!

I really like the photo!! the Upupa is a wonderfull bird. But even interesting is the insect it is eating!! Some more info below, maybe you can use it as note, because I miss them with this photo. TFS Cris

Mole cricket (Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa)

This is one of the largest native orthopteran and one of the most impressive and unusual looking insects. The scientific name derives from the Latin 'gryllus' meaning cricket and 'talpa', mole, and refers to its similarity to a mole in both looks and subterranean habits. The body is brown in colour and covered with fine velvety hairs, and the forelegs are greatly modified for digging. Only the adult stages are winged, and flight is said to be clumsy, directionless and only performed on rare occasions at night. Males can be distinguished from the females by the open vein area in the forewing known as the 'harp', females lack the external ovipositor of other crickets

Males occasionally produce a soft, but far-carrying 'churring' song from within a specially constructed chamber in the burrow system, which acts as an amplifier for the song, which is likely to be used for attracting females. The song is typically produced on warm balmy evenings in early spring between dusk and dawn, and it is similar to the song of the nightjar Caprimulgus europeaeus.

Preciosa fotografia, no entenc com té només 66 punts... Enfocament "bestial", potser una mica blanquinosa pero és una foto meravellosa.
