CommentJackpot! I saw the bird some distance off with something large in its bill. Only after taking a photo could I see it had the biggest yabby I've ever seen. The bird swallowed it whole a few moments later (I wouldn't like to try it with those nippers.) Taken at a golf course dam with quite a low water level.
EquipmentCanon 80D with EF 100-400mm Mark 2, handheld at 400mm
1/2500 sec, f7.1, ISO 1000.
Initially processed in Canon DPP 4 to crop, adjust exposure and lighting and perform noise reduction. A 16 bit TIFF file was created from the RAW DPP image and finished in PSE (Adobe Photoshop Elements v9) where further noise reduction was applied to the main subject using Neat Image plugin for PSE. The background was noise reduced and the main subject sharpened.
LocationKambah (Murrumbidgee Country Club Golf Course), Australian Capital Territory
