It's great watching these birds frantically chase fish around in the shallows. Unfortunately the sun refused to shine

A nice pose with the wings up and placement of the feet plus the low perspective adds to the image, well done Rob.

Great timing on the capture. The wings out pose strikes me as very similar to what we see in our Reddish Egrets here. The detail is excellent. I think the flatter lighting may have actually been a boon in being able to hold it that well. :toast:

Wonderful pose, Rob and an excellent job bringing the texture out in the whites.
