Wow! Truly exceptional stuff!!! Very slight shame that the reeds in the foreground have encroached into the image, but that really is a minor quibble!!!
Wonderful action shot, lovely colours & detail, really like the angle showing us the top part of his body and feathers. Wonder what that is on his bill/beak
