Ever since I took this image of a Fish Eagle throwing his head back to make its iconic call, I have breen trying to get another one but with no luck. So here is the best I have , which was taken on Rhino Island, Matusadona National Park Zimbabwe, A fine place for natural sightins as no baiting is undertaken

Hello Ken

Interesting Pose. Never seen this Fish Eagle but have seen other Eagles displayed like this.

Wow, a Very Fast Shutter Speed ?

Thanks for sharing.
