Those incredible momnets of nature stay in your memory for ever don't they? I once saw a frog hop out of our pond and catch a bee in mid air. The strangest thing I ever saw though was when we were eating lunch in a pub garden and a wasp cam down and took a chunk of chicken off the plate and flew away with it. It must have weighed so much compared to the wasp! Then there's time, (just a few weeks ago in Paris) of a sparrow trying to eat my husband's baguette whilst still in flight!
