After seeing so many magnificent pics on this forum I'm a bit hesitant to place this one, but I have not seen this bird on the forum (yet) so here goes.
Photographed from a bird hide (using bean bag) in most difficult circumstances with the light reading coming down by the minute, before a day long rain started pouring down. I thus had to push the ISO's much higher than I would have liked to, with predicted results re. noise. Edited in LR: sharpening, NR, contrast, clarity. Cropped - about 15% of OP due to distance between bird and myself.
D600, f/7.1, 1/500s, ISO 1600, 500mm, spot metering.
