I'm hoping I have Identified him correctly but if I have please can someone explain his behavior to me. My hubby captured it on film, this chap almost hit our car when landing next to us and once in the long grass we though perhaps h had found a baby snake and was eating it cause we saw a thin bright green (what we thought was a tail) sticking out his mouth, but he swallowed it and then plucked another stem of grass and did the same. He ate about 6/7 long blades of grass before flying off.

What on earth was that about? Is it normal? Thank you

Probably just complementing a good meal with a salad.

Here are two of Laine's photos:

Nice youngster!
