Re: Anhinga

Thats a class shot. I like it very much as it shows the background habitat as well.

Re: Anhinga

Not heard of one of those - member of the cormorant family ?

Re: Anhinga

It's called a Darter in Africa and Asia and is a member of the cormorant family. A classic pose but I find the background just a bit too intrusive. I may also have taken a bit off the right.

Re: Anhinga

Thanks all for looking

Also known as the Snake bird because often when it swims it's body is submerged and only the head and neck are visible resembling a snake

and in Costa Rica it's known as the Piano bird because of the effect of back and white keys
