African Fish Eagle

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Captured this image from trip to southern Africa in 2018. This was in the Okavango Delta near Kwetsani camp on a bright overcast day. There were two, and at one point I noticed one glance skyward and proceeded, presumably watching a larger bird, to keep tilting its head tracking the bird, almost touching his back. C&C welcome.

D500, Sigma 150-600mm @ 600mm, 1/2500s, f 7.1, Handheld, ISO 1000.

Fun pose, but the bird feel a bit like an afterthought in the busy frame. But this looks fine for what is clearly on opportunistic grab shot.

A great look at the habitat you found this individual in. The plant above is so-so, but I love the one at left. Fun pose too from the eagle.

Thanks Dorian, and Daniel.

Neat looking bird. I don't mind the setting. It's where the bird lives right?
