Nice capture of this impressive bird. I say "impressive', because he certainly is not pretty. He reminds me of a C-5 Galaxy cargo plane on final approach.

Excellent job no the exposure, Ken I'm not sure about the crop. I think I'd be tempted to put the bird in the upper third of the frame instead of the lower.

Thanks everybody for your comments which are much appreciated. I cannot disagree about the "ugly" comments, but nowhere near as bad as a Maribu Stork
