I almost walked past these insects that were buzzing across a shaft of sunlight, thanks to Shreeram for pointing out.

Posted here are last of the images from last birding session. It is always nice to see birds gulping their prey.
This cormorant was fishing along with a bunch of its friends. Each time they went in, they would come back with a fish struggling between the beaks. Also read my commentary of watching a cormorant hunt in the water. They are very swift swimmers.

Bay backed shrike
We watched this shrike sitting on a short perch and looking around. It flew out and came back with this centipede (or whatever worm it is) so fast, it must have taken less than a second. The centipede struggled for another 5 seconds before it was consumed.
