Although most of you have seen and captured this bird before, today was my first sighting of it.

I like the flight shot mate,well done.
See if you can get a pic of a big Swamp Tiger while you are in those marshes mate.

Nice mix of shots. I like the flight shot that you caught so well.

Hi Tark
Nice series.
My favourite is the one with the tail flipped up.
The rustic English people had a name for these birds (related species, anyway). They called them "flick-arse".
.
If you ever get a chance, try shooting one feeding. They hold their food (reeds and roots of plants) squeezed between their long toes, not "gripped" in the way hawks and perching birds do.
It would be a good challenge for your lens.
.
Cheers

George, thanks mate ... I think it must have been my lucky day - after being cooped up for weeks on end it was a welcome change.
