EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Des Ong, we witness a truly remarkable moment of nature's wonders. A magnificent adult male Lesser Kestrel takes center stage as it gracefully soars through the skies above Trujillo Bullring in Caceres Province, Extremadura, Spain. But what makes this image even more extraordinary is the kestrel's impressive multitasking skills! With its razor-sharp talons firmly gripping a wriggling Centipede from the Scolopendra family, our feathered friend effortlessly transfers its prey to its beak mid-flight. Talk about dining on-the-go! This stunning display showcases not only the agility and precision of these aerial hunters but also their resourcefulness when it comes to securing a meal.
