Great flight shot with excellent wing spread. The open beak is a plus.

Fantastic wing spread, IQ and details, Craig. Really like the open bill. HAd to look up alula--thanks for the education.

[Arno Ellmer]

Great capture ,Craig. I love the dramatic wing spread and the open beak. the whites are well exposed.

I hadn't seen this bird before; it's really spectacular. And what an excellent capture. You've positioned it beautifully in the frame, and the action is terrific. The beautiful blue of the sky and the open mouth contribute further to make this image special. Very nice.

Very nice.
Exposure is spot on with whites and blacks.Lovely wing spread as well.I wish for a bit more room on top.
I had to look up alula as well!! I'm not giving it away!
