Description

This shot not only captured the White-throated Needletail opening it's mouth to capture prey, but looking closely also reveals the insect prey item about a body length ahead of the bird.

A flock of up to a hundred individuals circled over the house catching insects before moving further north. I've tried to separate individuals based on markings and feather damage.
