Sometimes I have to admit to bias and this was taken on a recent Sri Lanka safari I was lucky enough to lead; however having spent hours with all of the entries this month, it is a clear winner. Green Bee-eaters are photogenic subjects. Fiercely territorial, they flit from twig to branch and offer some decent opportunities. But awards are not given just for being photogenic, however coruscating they may be, they are earned by originality and degree of difficulty. This is a fantastic moment - a meal on wings where a partner transfers a titbit to its mate. Sharp, colourful with a complimenting background, this is a superb wildlife photograph, one I missed comprehensively and one I am appropriately green over.
