Nice shots, Sid. I really like the one of the little guy, close-up. Very nicely photographed.

Many thanks Mike.
Your kind compliments are very much appreciated

Love this photo.
Beautiful focused pose. A stately bird.

You're right, Richard...they really are a stately looking bird. Many thanks for your generous compliment.

Not Often the light conditions allow me to take a photo at ISO 100 or get to take a photo of a bird with a 200mm Prime. The 2nd photo was taken at f/2.5 to blow the background out.
