Although my back is still in pain, this sight of Gold-Whiskered Barbet with cicada in its mouth is irresistible. So, I quickly grabbed my camera and fired a few shots.Original Date/Time = 2008:03:05 19:08:39

I have no image of it swallowing this insect, because it take it else where , out side the range of my camera. Or maybe giving it to spouse or chick. I don't know.Original Date/Time = 2008:03:05 19:08:20

Fantastic images. You are fortunate to live in a neighbourhood where birds of many species visit. And not only to visit, but to also provide exciting photo opportunities.
I will be privileged to re-post them at http://besgroup.talfrynature.com in the near future.
Looking forward to many more exciting images.
