Beautiful bird Bernard, I especially like the composition of No 2.

Maybe try tying a fish to the branch to coax them

If this is a place you can return to, you might be able to catch him in better light. The ones around here tend to frequent the same spots and use the same perches to watch for fish. With patience, you can learn his habits and find him fishing when the light is right.

#1 is very good; #2 is excellent

Terri,same here,seems to perch on same branch,I,ve been trying to catch him in flight just as he lands,no joy
