For days I was frustrated coz my 3G line was slow & unable to upload and show blog's photos...I was so curious to see this action shot.

My wait is over...That's one heck of an action shot! Great stuff

I envy these pics as I missed a golden opportunity to photograph this species last week. It was all due to limitations of digiscopy!
