Inspired by Kenny's beautiful KF images, I will post one heavily cropped image(yeah 700mm was not enough). 5D3 at 700mm, handheld.

I think 700mm was just right! Very clear shot for being cropped a fair bit!

Fantastic shot, it begs the question was the fish actually swallowed or rejected.

The fish had been swallowed after tenderizing it (by slapping it against a branch several times).

Beautiful IF with a wonderful display of the wingtop Ruhikant.
I too am impressed with any capture of this bird whether heavily cropped or not. It turned out very nicely.
