This is a Ground Hornbill catching a mouse (dead) thrown wih a sling by the keeper high up in midair in a show at the bird park. S 1/4000 F 6.3 ISO 3500

No pity for the dead mouse please. These birds are not vegetarians.

Although thrown in a sling, your timing was perfect Raj.
Good 'action' shot, lol.

Just goes to prove that a mouse in beak is worth two in the bush. Neat shot, Raj.
