Taken at Hluhluwe Game Reserve last week in rainy weather. My "whistle" wasn't too good - it wouldn't look towards me so HAP will have to fine!!:o I did open the door and hang down to try for a lower angle.:eek: It's only the 2nd time I've seen them and first time I've managed to get a shot so thought I'd share and keep until the next time!

Nice record of an unusual species Jeni. Flash has largely frozen the subject but there was obviously enough ambient light to show a bit of ghosting at 1/60s. A higher SS would have reduced that but darkened the BG leaving a more "flashed" look. Looks like some evidence of cloning LLC.
P.S - loved your heron and snake sequence in Africa Birds and Birding.
Thanks Tony, appreciate it. I have "fixed" the LLC - there was a bright spot there. I also desaturated the bg a bit. I was very pleased that Birds and Birding decided to use the pics.:D
