Prinia and Bee-eater (Prinia subflava, Merops pusillus)

This is not the sharpest image I have ever taken, but I like it due to its action: I was trying to get a photo of the Tawny-flanked Prinia, and here the Little Bee-eater comes swooping in looking like it would like a little bird for lunch (actually it did not attack, it only looks that way ;) )

i have noticed birds doing this with smaller ones just for play but sometimes they do it to make the little bird fly so it will saved from a nearby danger that it was not noticing. this i see with my garden birds.
