Eventually got a shot of a Cape Batis in the open in decent light... they tend to dart between the branches of trees hence always in shadows... this female was catching flying insects but every time she would dart out the tree the Dusky Flycatchers would dive-bomb her only for her to head back to safety of the trees.... for a split second (6 frames) she perched in the open!! Yes Please!

Photography is my only pathological addiction; hopefully it won't drive me to something worse. :rolleyes: :oops:
