And yet another amazing shot, Shalu. You certainly have a plan that works unbelievably well.

Thank you very much, Mike. My plan is very simple: sit/lie on the edge of the pond the whole morning, :-P:lol: :p

There's something about that eye and shorter bill that makes this awesome :-)

Thank you, Pax!

Patience and persistence are two very important qualities that all the best photographers are endowed with.

Very well done! I love the how curved branches echo the outline of the bird

Thank you, appreciated.

Bird on a stick! How does it manage to fold such a long leg out of sight! Very pretty.

Melissa6 wrote in post #18768171 (external link)
:lol: I was wondering how it manages to keep it's balance on such a teeny tiny tall leg! :lol:

Very nice shot, Sibil. :-)

Lame-Duck wrote in post #18768314 (external link)
Cool pose, Sibil. Kind of looks like he's using a pogo, stick. :-)
