Went to the reservoir just now @ 6pm and saw a adult WBSE in action.
Too bad it was in the middle of the reservoir.But did get a few near fill frame shot when it flew by with dinner.

Nice BIF shot of the WBSE with dinner !

Wow ! Very nice captures
its a Dollar Bird... maybe a juvenile? They are usually quite skirtish - staying very high up in trees and far away... so very good to get such a close up shot of it... is it 'resident' there?

Thanks limmick for the bird id.I remember someone did post this bird but can't find the thread.
It was sitting quite high, I need to add 1.4 TC on 400mm to get the shot.Need to go another time to see whether it's still there. Private estate +($)Dollar Bird = Rich
Think I need to shoot a million time of the ($)Dollar bird to become millionaire.
