Also called "Snake Bird" because when just their heads are above water they look like a snake. After their swim they come on to dry land to dry their wings. Quite impressive.

Nice capture and details of the bird.
Just a minor suggestion, rotating it 1-2 degrees clockwise may still improve what already is a good image.

Very nice capture. Good composition, exposure, sharpness. The only thing that distracts my eye is the grass in the foreground. It's not even so much that I don't like having it there, it's that I find it over exposed compared to the bird... you know? Some tweaking in PS might fix that, I don't really know.

Well spotted and captured thought!
