Caught our local Australian Hobby (aka, Albert) partaking of an in-flight meal today but he was just a little too far away and I could not crop this more...I'm just wondering if this meal (a Dragonfly) is the chap that used to visit our garden every afternoon (as he's not appeared today).

I have to say, I've had worse in-flight meals than this.

So - we humans drives cars while shaving or applying lipstick.

But the above photo would indicate that there can be one or more fatal accidents involving careless birds too, who are busy with other things instead of checking where they are going :)

Great catch, do birds normally eat this way? :)

Would that the be the same one from the DIF threads?
