Yi Cao, Temptation (ANIMALS 2026)

Woodswallow, Rainbow Bee-eater, and Honeyeater, they are different species of birds, yet have one thing in common: An insect is a tantalizing prize for the bird. Gazing at a flying insect is not only because of an irresistible temptation for a catch, but also is a process of study as to how to catch. All three images were taken in North and Central Victoria, Australia
