Rare beauty!
Lovely moment / composition :)

Thank you very much, Marta.

An excellent capture of a beautiful bird!

Happy World Photography Day!

Thank you very much, Valfal.

An excellent capture of this elegant bird, showing himself off to perfection.

Thank you very much, Amelia. I think he is probably drying his feathers after diving into the lake.

This is a great contribution to the WPD. You took the photo at the right moment when this majestic bird spread its wings.

Thank you very much, Christa. Actually, it kept its wings spread for a long time. The wings of these birds aren't waterproof like some birds, so they must dry out for a long time after each dive.

A serene and elegant scene.

Thank you for your comment, Gillian. It was (and usually is) a very quiet place. The main exception is during egret nesting season in spring and early summer.

Fantastic, Roland!

Thank you very much, Stephan.

Great capture! The pose is magnificent....

Thank you very much, Eric. Anhingas spend a lot of time in this pose drying off, because their feathers are not water-proof.

A superb capture Ronald. Not a bird we see here so it is lovely to see him with his wings spread to dry off. Attractive surroundings and great reflections and the light on the water is quite magical.
I love this image

Have a good week
