    VGR_20131006_9952.jpg
  • The strike of this Green-backed heron fishing is so fast that even with my fast 11 frames-per-second camera I only got two shots of a single strike!<br />
I liked this frozen moment with the wing stretched for balance and the nice water splash, even though its head is completely submerged.

  • And the type of advance to be wary of when the female happens to be an elephant!<br />
<br />
Generally elephant bulls are very tolerant and allow close approach, as long as they are not in musth and as long as you respect them and don't piss them off that is, but females of a breeding herd are a totally different story and need to be treated with much more care. Our boat drifting close to the shore quite far from a herd already prompted this female to approach us head on to show how big she is and to warn us off. Staying humble and calm luckily kept her calm too.
