Hamerkops

I photographed these two Hamerkops on the edge of Botswana's Chobe River in May. It's not often you get one on the ground, much less a pair. Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, Canon EF500mm f/4L IS II USM, AV exposure f/11 at 1/160th, ISO 1600.

I get the giggles just looking at these two. Sorry, can't help it! Otherwise, an excellent photo, taken in what appears to be harsh light. My only nit is the shadows are confusing. The bird on the left must have already been in partial shadow, and its shadow across the back of the bird on the right is unfortunate, although the detail in the shadow is good.
