Closeup of African Fish Eagle, Central Serengeti

This one landed in front of our jeep, and didn't move. Likely it had targetted something and did not want to give it up. We never saw what it was though.

gratz on the promo! I do see a number of promotions without any comment, not the way I would be doing it:) Wow, just landing in front of the jeep, quite the nerve it must have had, shared with a healthy reason for doing so. Indeed you wonder as to the why of the aspect.. Posted 9 years ago

  Thanks Ludo. I agree it is good courtesy to explain a promotion but I don't think it is crucial.
  
  This one is easily explained though: it's a self-promotion. Would feel kind of awkward complimenting myself :) For reference, the self promotion policy:
  
  "Self promotion: Put aside your shame, there is nothing wrong with promoting your own photos. Particularly on slow days, feel free to promote your own photos, even multiple ones. On busy days, self promotions are still OK, yet use the guidelines as described above on your own images." Posted 9 years ago
