OMG, Tateo..... this is incredible imagery, one for the avian books!!!
Imagine a 13-inch long raptor successfully preying on a much larger (19 inch long), endemic Black-faced Coucal. I have no words to describe this series but wowwwwwwwwwww.
I wish I were with you guys when you got this. Even if I won't fire a single shot, seeing such a spectacle would be worth the Bohol trip. Big congrats!

Now that Romy has explained the difference in size of the birds I can appreciate the situation much more. A smaller bird attacking a bigger bird and succeeding to eat it. You were at the right place at the right time. Well done Tateo. Mabuhay.
