Ever since I took this image of a Fish Eagle throwing his head back to make its iconic call, I have breen trying to get another one but with no luck. So here is the best I have , which was taken on Rhino Island, Matusadona National Park Zimbabwe, A fine place for natural sightins as no baiting is undertaken
EOS 1D MkIII
500mm F4

Hello Ken

Interesting Pose. Never seen this Fish Eagle but have seen other Eagles displayed like this.

Wow, a Very Fast Shutter Speed ?

Thanks for sharing.
