Кукша с ящерицей.

In this striking image by photographer Kalinin Mihail, we witness the fleeting moment of a Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius) in mid-flight, having just secured its prey—a small lizard. The bird’s wings are fully extended, displaying intricate patterns of brown, black, and white feathers against a soft, blurred background that emphasizes motion and focus. This powerful scene highlights not only the elegance of flight but also the essential role predators play in maintaining ecological balance.
