Funny image - because the action, but also seeing them in/near water. Nicely done. Best, Hans

Nice catch, Ken. Seems odd to see a bird called a Sandgrouse in the water, but I'll bet they were enjoying it. There seems to be quite a bit of noise on the underside of the landing bird for iso 800 on that camera-did you have to raise the exposure in post processing?

Nice action and the eyes on both bird are very sharp. Nice photo.

Thanks for the comments
Dennis,
I probably adjusted the exposure, I nearly always find it helps.
