I don't know the name of this bird, only that it was about 3 feet high and it liked bathing. I caught him in the act and froze him in this water bubble. Amazing, don't you think?

Hoi Paul
wow wat een fabuleuze momentopname...volgens mij is het een soort ooievaar.
Ik heb geen idee of je al deze diertuinfoto's op 1 dag gemaakt heb..maar zo ja dan zijn je kinderen en partner aardig wat tekort gekomen die dag..omdat jij alleen maar door een lens gekeken hebt.
Ik heb trouwens nog geen 200mm gekocht.
Ben een beetje aan het rondkijken want die zijn knap duur en aangezien ik ook nog wat andere wensen en nog een vakantie tegoed heb.
Misschien binnen kort eens wat ideen spuien over een echte contest hier?
Die wat meer uitdaging bevat?...lijkt me een goed plan.

grts

Yes, it's one of the most amazing photos I've ever seen. Congratulations!

(I don't know what this bird is, either. Would love to find out.)

Excellent capture, Paul, that's quite a funnel of water he's made with his beak. I don't know the species, but I'm sure with the wonderful detail you got, someone will be able to identify the bird. Well done!

Well, if anyone's looking for THE bird bathing picture this is it, look no further. It's also an amazing water freeze so you get a two-for-one. Congratulations.

Thanks everyone. I have this image on my desktop at work. It's so incredibly hot out there, but with my feet in a cold tub and looking at this pic I can just manage to stay cool throughout the day!

Yes, this is amazing. Nice capture here. This image is so clean and the color around this birds beak is really bright. Glad that you were able to catch this one.

Truly amazing Paul! I'm thinking it looks like a cross between a stork and a swan maybe even a flamingo! Hard telling..lol..Excellent capture and take! +fav'd
