These lovely little birds migrate 2000km to nest in Perth WA each year. I passed my K5 on to a student on exchange here from France as he was interested in photography .. an old school buddy (from 1974) who has had a rough time of late is using my QS1 as therapy to get out shoot and do something, I would love to be able to gift him the K70 as it would be the perfect starter camera for him.. and he would be able to join in with the Perth Pentax User Group.. fingers crossed for Noel

Fantastic capture with such vivid colors! That looks like the easiest meal that bird will ever get. Good luck!

Yes it looks as if that dragonfly is not long for this world. Very nice catch and capture with great colors and isolation. Good luck in the giveaway.
