goliath

undoubtedly a perfect name,

the goliath heron (ardea goliath) is the World's largest heron.

unfortunatly its not a confident and common bird so in many years i never got full frame and clear photos.

those birds are quiet shy but i got better result using a very little boat drifting with engine off.

serondela area,chobe river , Namibia

many thanks to the friend Giovanni Contessa for the help in post production
