Another superb shot of this lovely lake scene, Doc!! tfs. They have got used to the fisherman they probably know he doesn't pose any threat to them.

A super picture of this lake and the young fisherman too.

It's so interesting how birds can be so relaxed with people they see all the time, isn't it.

Nice work here Kish, thanks so much for sharing it with us.
 
A super landscape capture! It's great to know the birds don't fly when they seem to know the person.

Interesting to see, Kish. I'd guess the birds benefit from some Fish being scared into swimming in their direction by the Fisherman

They must see him a lot ;) A lovely image Kish.

Reminds me of one day when the Anhingas were around the fishing pond and a fisherman would start reeling in a fish and the birds would grab the fish off the hook. ;)

Lol, it appears the storks have some serious competition. They seem to be acustom to his presence. Outstanding Kish!!!
