Common Noddy (Anous stolidus) coming into land on a tiny cay in the tropical light. It is close to the sand, so there is reflected light helping the underwing details.

ISO320, 600mm, f6.3, 1/3200, by Sony.

Excellent capture and framing Greg. The sea colours are a nice touch and remind us of its warm location.

The sea in the background works really well against this muted-coloured bird.

That reflected light really does help with a dark bird like this. The aqua colors of the water are so attractive. Nice pose captured.
