I love these birds I think its an excellent shot. Love the droplets of water on the bill and feathers and the aspect taken which really shows off the length of his bill. Nice post nice background.

It the water droplets that lift this above the ordinary. Great stuff.

Excellent capture :toast: My preference would be for the original full frame shot rather than a square crop though.
Good work.
