Giant kingfisher with a doomed crab. Pany GX8 + Vario-Elmar 100~400mm @ 400mm (equivalent to 800mm FF FOV). BTW: The kingfisher will bash the crab against that cement structure until it is properly tenderized.

A few shots of a hummingbird from this morning. K1ii and DA* 300 on a tripod near my feeder set up in the window. I sat across the room using a remote to get the shots.
