Jackal in flight, thought he might . . .catch a dove

The last of my images of the Black-backed Jackal female that was frequenting Cutitje Quab in the Kgalagadi.
She entertained us for five mornings with her eager attempts to snag breakfast.

A great action shot (composition, colors, everything) and a bit unusual -- a mammal going for a bird.

Great outcome and very special moment.

I see the 120 fps, lock on eye tracking, animal id preset for Jackal Female worked and was able to distinguish from the preset option of Male Jackal all worked for you LOL (joking)

Question, did she catch the bird ?

Top flight shot @Callie, was there success on any of those 5 days?

Thank you Guys, Much appreciated
@O: Still use the dinosaur bodies, and will forever. She dis succeed - see below.
@marc - Marc - 4 kills only in the over 20 hours we spent there. None in-flight catches, all were secured in the water and none with the face towards us. I have been back a few times, but not jackal hunting.
Here she, is she just caught it and the next she is is munching. ( Posted previously)

Thank you! Here is the first post of the trying to nab breakfast, should you be interested to have a look.:

Wildlife in motion #23: Black-backed Jackal attempting to catch Sandgrouse

There are two species of sandgrouse that one may normally see visiting water holes in the Kalahari - Namaqua and Burchell's Sandgrouse. The sandgrouse arrives around 07:30-08:30 in summer, allowing about a window of one hour. But there are doves too and action may continue until about 10:00...
