With one talon locked on its fish the African Fish Eagle used its wingspan to try to intimidate the Maribou Storks.
But I like the fish that got away story better

Super image Eric. Super pose from the eagle, and good positioning of the storks. A nice balance. If this was Disney, I'd say the eagle ringleader was giving directions to his thuggy stork henchmen.

Eric,
It really looks like he is showing them by opening his wings very wide how big the fish he caught was!
Really a sweet priceless picture with a thousand words!

Wow, nice shot. There could be a few different narratives to go along with this image. Like heavyweight boxer Joe Frazier once quipped in the 1970s, "I'm a small piece of leather, but I'm well put together."

Wonderful capture Eric. I think it probably would have been best to fly off with that fish

Super image Eric, great composition. Those storks look mighty intimidating to me.

Eric, the fish eagle is a large bird by normal standards but going up against a gang of marabou storks is not for the faint of heart. The more I watch birds the more I think they live a very tough life. Great capture!

It really does appear that there was a conversation going on here Eric but I think it was about the size of your lens.............or possibly Tims

looks like the Sea Eagle earned the respect of the others here to hear him out at story telling time!

I like it

He is standing ground and not intimidated by the taller neighbours. Great capture.
