Description

Feeding time - that's the middle shot. The guy stands at the fence and says "come on, come" in this gruff voice and they all climb out the water and off the banks and come to eat. They fed the crocs ostrich meat. I was standing on the poles (balancing) around the fence to seperate the crocs from us (visa versa). Crocs kill more humans per year than sharks (+-6000 in Africa alone). So if there are warning signs for crocs - best you listen! By the time the feeding happened the clouds had cleared from my previous shot and the sun was setting to give this lovely warm glow to the light quality (which you'll see in my next collage). Tx all for the interest in yesterday's fish eagle.
