Comment from Geokat
Eileen, another great one. I would consider this to be an action shot since this gut is intently fishing for dinner. His color and markings in the filtered light are tremendous. Wonderful focus and framing.

This is a beautiful shot of the bird. You have timed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

Comment from butterfly77
This a lovely little bird and you've caught his markings so clearly. He has such a long beak and legs, it must be something to watch him fish and eat. The setting, for a zoo, looks remarkably natural. Good shot.
