I had been to Vedanthangal, a bird sanctuary close to Chennai, last Saturday
(5th Feb) for a second visit this year. Luckily, the place was empty, and I
could practice my panning and capturing birds in flight, techniques I need
solid practice in, to my hearts content. Some Painted Stork action:

By dusk, the water became still, and you get decent shadows:
