Great splash shot and always nice to see them come up with a decent size fish!

Hi Phil,

Thanks! I lucked out this day with great light and sunshine and a hungry egret who decided to hang around that pond for a few hours. Nice way to kill a few hours practicing with the Wimberley Head and a long lens!

Excellent behavior captures

Thanks. I learned quite a bit just observing this graceful hunter stalking its unsuspecting prey. I really enjoyed when it would jump into the air, flap its wings then do a quick 180 turn and dive down on some poor unsuspecting fish!
