The wings look lovely, amazing patterns. Light seems a bit harsh. Thanks for sharing.

Nice one. In Sundarbans after 8 am it becomes hot. Generally the mud deposited by the tide dries up and can often get overexposed. Here it is controlled with some details visible.

This majestic bird when seen from close makes us appreciate its beauty. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
