Great behavioural shot Anthony. The outstretched wings make a wonderful display. Beautiful light and reflection on the little fish too.

No need for eye contact with the camera here, Woody!. I love the power of the line between the bird and the prey and what timing! Perfect pose for the bird as well.

Another great shot showing the bird at its best in it natural environment obviously doing what it does well, Your timing in this shot is near perfect.

The light on the neck of the bird is spot on here Woody. I like the overall frame and the story it tells

Great capture again Woody, I feel for you not having the bird facing you, got to take them as they come but it no way takes away from the image as the bonus here is the Mullet jumping out of the way.
