A merlin (4)

Got some shots of a merlin at my favorite "bird park" this afternoon... it was flying out over the bay, low over the water, catching dragonflies, and then returning to its perch to eat. No flight shots - I couldn't even keep it in the viewfinder! - but I did manage some images of it perched, and eating its snack...

Excellent work. Do you realize kind of flyers these guys have to be to catch dragonfly in flight?
