Great detail. The head plumes look like a single feather when they're running around and it's interesting when a photo shows how complex they actually are.

We've had an otter visiting my wifes koi carp pond over the last week, it has eaten 20 fish in three visits leaving this half behind on visit 2. My wife is not happy and the last 4 fish have been removed for the time being. I've got some trail cam footage off the otter and a few dcent photos of the buzzard with it's dinner. Every cloud.....

Great shot, Sid, but it's really a shame about the loss of so many koi.:cry:

Jail Bird --

This is a huge crop, from 6720 x 4480 = 30.1MP to 2189 x 1459 = 3.1MP
I'm shocked at how well the resolution is holding up.

Not only in good light w/ great background separation, but mid-call no less. Strong capture there! I'm jealous :)
