Lovely photograph Jeroen.

How I wish we had these frogs over in the UK.

We do get the Eyed Hawkmoth (the "snack") and it's one of the most beautiful species in my opinion, especially when freshly emerged

Excellent shot Jeroen! Love the humour as well as the technical stuff.

At first look I thought the moth was a lizard of some sort :redface: Wonderful photograph, I love the expression on the frog :smile:

Funny looking Kingfisher :biggrin: :biggrin:

You don't need me to tell you it's a belting shot Jeroen :toast:

Must confess that, seeing the title, I was expecting a kingfisher with a large fish in it's beak!
As already stated this is a lovely shot. Well done.
Now, back to those kingfishers!
