Ola, he came up with a small fish. I have no idea how he could see through that thick duckweed.

Another very good capture. You capture these with a great sense of timing!

Thank you Gary for the sharpening advice.Gary. I hadn't sharpened the head and neck, but did sharpen the bark and back of the bird. Duh.. brainfart. Original post is linked

No real need to post the original John. Only a minor adjustment. Glad I could help.

What a fantastic capture. Great lighting! Love the intense pose/expression. Very nice colours and composition.

Beautiful, it belongs in a birding book. What intensity, and the time you must take to capture your photos, great patience you have as well.

Great capture indeed! The pose is very nice there's just a little noise in the background

another one of your priceless birdshots The angle in which the bird positions itself is so spot on with the branches Great
