    He's pretty well camouflaged in those surroundings to sneak up on it's prey. Nice BIF action shot.

    A very well executed wildlife image. Banking left presents itself as a real prize winner. Many thanks for sharing. :) TT

    Thanks for that, it's fairly heavily cropped as the bird was about 100 metres away.

    Thanks, got lucky with the light and unusually the camera focused on the bird and not the reeds.

    Tony, the lens was a canon EF 800mm F5.6 on a 1DX mkII, shutter speed 1/1000th aperture 5.6, I had the ISO on auto and currently can't access the exif for this photo so don't know what ISO was set.
