Hi Theo,

excellent - thanks for your help! I was just searching for another pic, showing the antenna - I found one, maybe slightly different/better(?) view - but you nailed it anyway.

Sorry to say, these guys seem to love Tabanus sp., not sure, if it was again T. bovinus or T. sudeticus in the second case :o.
Today i saw another nest of the same bird species close the first one, adults carrying large Tabanus sp. for their youngs (at least four of them in the nest), but I haven't taken any pics.

But I'll try to convince them, looking for other preys, promised - all the best,

Marc
