Maribou Stork with Snail

[John Lowin]

Image created at Lake Nakuru, Kenya. The Maribou Stork is a true scavenger and will eat just about anything. It would take a lot of these to make a meal. Hope you like my image. C and C welcome, I'm here to learn. - John

I've seen them in captivity but sure is nice seeing in their natural setting !!!

I like how you got most of the head against the water and just right head angle along with a meal !! .... can't say good looking bird but I like it a lot !!!

Nice sharpness and action! I find the line of the opposite bank a bit distracting.

Nice pose and I like the snail toss. agree about the line in the BG. What a handsome bird!

Hi - nice looking bird - like the action. Like the detail in the eye - agree about the line on the opposite bank a lower shooting angle might have helped here - yep you would have to lay on the ground.
looking forward to mor :)
