Shag - Feeding time

[Steve Kaluski]

I assume the Shag must have some reflex action that allows the chick to delve deeply to retrieve the meal inside????

Thanks for the comments on the previous posting.

Well captured Steve, I like the colours and details on both birds. You even managed a good HA Its quite an amazing image really. I have been photographing shags for years, and never seen this before. I will have to lookout for it, when I go to the Isle of May on Saturday.

Well done and TFS

Late on this one but Steve this is killer. DOF was great and I love how soft the feathers look on the young one. Great looking eye and expression as well. Really nice behavior capture. TFS
