I stalked this one today for over an hour through long wet grasses and reeds, and it rained :Whoa!:.
Eventually I managed to get myself into a decent position when he posed for me, and I managed a few captures :S3:

Thanks for having a look

I like the wet look here, William. Nice "bugs" too!
Placement in the frame is also pleasing to my eye. I don't mind the OOF reeds left and right but find my eye drawn somewhat to the OOF fluff in front of the perch.

A special image indeed. Great soft light in this one. Nice details and with a beak full! way to go William!

I love it William! This guy is greedy (probably on its way back to the nest)!

Nice BG and sharp (one day I'm going to get me that lens combo! :w3).

Magnificent image. Nice pose with worms in the beak, beautiful colors and details.

Regards,
Satish.
