Grazie Mille Giangiorgio! This guy is real good at this and caught 3,4 crayfish within a short time ... and I was lucky to get him in great afternoon light which shown him properly in his best appearance of the year in breeding plummage.

A good catch for both. I like the iridescent plumage of this glossy ibis enhanced by good lighting, ciao Giangiorgio

Couldn't be any better- wonderful feathering- always glad to see your work!

Thanks Greg & Verena! Yes, it's hard to catch them in their full breeding colors unless the lighting is correct. I got lucky with this one with that afternoon light was so exquisite and then the Crayfish as a catch to boot. Wish I was that lucky with the lottery but no such .. luck yet!
