Or at least I hope it is Bird ID is not my forte

Taken at Sweni Hide, Kruger NP, which as you can see is suffering from some algae problems

500m IS, on bean-bag

F4, 1/2500, ISO400

Nice action captured in this image and excellent detail and color. Very sharp too with nice eye contact. My only wish would be a cleaner BG but that is the way it was and very nicely captured Ken.

Hi Ken! I might consider a vertical crop here. I also wish you were photographing from a lower angle and that the bird had a slightly better head angle. Thanks for posting!

[Arthur Morris]

Well done in spite of your high position, an iffy sun angle, and some rather harsh light.
