'Move.....!

'Move.....! (Anhinga novaehollandiae)

Hi all, just had to share this one, I had lessons from 7am yesterday until 8pm but I had 10mins to spare between pick-ups so went looking at the Lake! I saw a huge bird fly up from the water into a tree and as I got close enough to take a pic another came out of the water and dislodged the first, almost like 'Move!....lol.. This one stayed around and I got 80 odd shots before I had to leave.....I had to wait until last night to see if I had anything worthwhile! The Shire was very glad to know that there were two at the lake and quite happy with the photos that I sent them!....Do hope you like it!
