A great shot of this species Sandy! Try as I did during my recent visit I was way too far for even a record shot. Good job capturing the low perspective and I love the tonal palette in the composition.

Nice shot of this Hamerkop (an Afrikaans/Dutch name)... I love the species, and I love this shot ! Cheers, Hans

Looks like you could pick it up by the tail and start driving nails, Sandy-someone came up with a very appropriate name. Excellent image with a great head turn and beautiful detail in the plumage.
