Mr Anhinga suddenly made a long awaited stage appearance a couple of days ago.
I didn’t have a ringside seat, being on the other side of the lake, but this didn’t stop me enjoying his performance.
I think he must have spotted the camera, and he soon warmed to his role, with a lovely song and dance act.
It wasn’t long before his live performance came to the attention of Daisy and Danny duck, who silently filed into the front row.
After a stunning show, Mr Anhinga took a deep bow, before flying off in search of some well earned fishy after theatre snacks.

A great performance! 😉
Yes it was, RoSy. No encore though, although maybe he’ll come back one day. 🙂
What a wonderful performance…encore, encore 🙂 xx

You have no idea how much I would like to be there and watch this show 🙂 What a fun! Thank you.

And quite a show it looked to be! 🙂
Thanks, Lorna. Yes, I enjoyed it. 🙂
Beautifully done Sylvia, thanks for making me smile!
Thanks, Gilly. 🙂
Nicely caught! I couldn’t imagine what he would look like until you showed us his wings.
Thanks so much. yes, he has lovely wings, but when they’re folded, he looks very lean indeed. That’s probably why they’re also called ‘Snake Birds’. 🙂
They are? Interesting. When he’s bowing that is clear indeed.
Ah! Joys of watching birds performing their dance. Brilliantly captured:)
Thanks, Cocoa. 🙂
You seem to be a magnet for the vainest birds Sylvia! Lucky you 🙂
Hahaha. Yes, it would appear so, Madhu. 🙂
Amazing shot Sylvia, much patience for his performer, fantastic!
Thanks so much, Della Anna. 🙂

That’s really good, Frank. Happy Friday. 🙂

Yes, that would be nice. It was a bit too far away to hear though. 🙂
Quite the show off he is!
Hehehe. Yes, I think so. 🙂

such a lovely show, Sylvia! great shots! 🙂
Thanks, Lola. Glad you enjoyed the show. 🙂
An absolutely stunning performance by Mr. A. You charm them, Sylvia. I’m sure of it. Are there any snakes in your area? da da da, da da. da da da da da da da. …
Do you really think so, Marsha? They do seem to know exactly where to stand to grab my attention. 🙂 Snakes alive………….now you have me looking around my lanai. 😯
And like one of your other commenters said, you certainly tell their story in an entertaining way. 🙂
I do try. 🙂
He did too! 🙂 My birds have no theatrical in them. They hid up out of view. They peck at our house, and fly away when we try to do a photo shoot. I prefer photographing land animals. 🙂
Beautiful shots Sylvia!
Thanks, Mary. 🙂
The pictures are fabulous, ad. But the commentary is the best. You are so good at that – putting the words to the pictures. And speaking of pictures have you been doing any painting? Waiting for another masterpiece. I love your talent, Missy. 🎨📝👍💜😊
Thanks so much for your lovely comment, Gemma. xx I’m hoping to finish my third painting tomorrow. 🙂
I thought Mr Anhinga so characterful looking, that I decided to check out his song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nydmKMdvJw
Thanks, Sarah. That’s quite some voice. 🙂
Wonderful interpretation!
Thanks, Dawn. I do enjoy a challenge. 🙂
Quite the performer! reminds me of the seagull from the little mermaid 🙂
Hehehe. Yes, you’re right, Andy. 🙂
Such a show off :p
Well if you had wings and a voice like that, you’d also show off a bit. 🙂
true true…
just a bit though…? na…ott!
A bit of a show off. 🙂 But I still give him a 10.
I’ll have to ask him to be a bit more modest about his looks next time. 🙂
Wonderful! I’m sure the song was beautiful. Thanks for joining the challenge!
Thanks, Nancy. I’m sure it was, although I couldn’t hear it. 🙂
