Description
I am not sure how well this title translates globally, but this is a dig at the pub boasting of fisherman using their arms to show just how big the fish they ALMOST caught was!!!
Taken near Port Douglas, Queensland, Australia, this is the Nankeen or Rufous Night Heron (Nycticorax caledonicus) coming in to land.
I seem to have gained the confidence of this beautiful specimen and I spent the best part of an hour, just sitting in his company and it really was an honor.
It is one of those experiences which can make wildlife photography so much more than simply pressing the button :0)

Mr. Kent, what a spectacular portrait of this beautiful Nankeen [Rufous] Night Heron! Excellent capture of its beautiful colors, from the top head feathers to its magnificent wings. Clever title and wonderful description. Masterful work on this wildlife beauty! F/L
