This is one of those species which I never get tired of photographing. The males have a lovely reddish beak with an orange head and partially black body. Due to this colour combination they are good subjects to shoot against a greenish background.

Shot with Nikon D500 + Nikkon 300 mm f/2.8 ( VR-I ) + 1.4X TC

1 / 2500s

f / 5.6

ISO 400

At 420 mm

Thanks for the stop

Very nice takeoff image, Biru. Love the flight pose with the wings on the down stroke just above the water. It may be worthwhile to work on the whites and perhaps draw out a little more detail. The head colors against the green background are magical.
