Lovely upside down feeding shot,Kish.The sparse sprinkling of grene grass really adds colour to this fine shot.

Great goodness - how can a downward-curving bill appear to be upward-curving when he's feeding.

What a wonderful behavioural capture that is Kish - an excellent job you've done here my friend.

Wonderful behavioural shot, Kish, and a great setting.
