"I had spotted the lonely flamingo on the water from the opposite bank and had to move quickly in position, anticipating (or rather hoping) it would line up with the wooden frame for a shot," the zoologist and amateur photographer told Picfair.
"The flamingo lifted its head from under the water for a split second, reaching the frame and allowing only one shot, before carrying on with feeding," Aliczki added of the photo, which he took in Sardinia, Italy.
