Excellence Award in the 'Dream Big 2013' competition

Wings
Shining feathery blades in the light of day
White clouds in the night sky
Ascending,descending, ascending, descending
Beak
A bright orange beak plunging into the crisp, sparkling water
Snapping up fish into a never-ending dark hole
Snipping, snapping, snipping, snapping
Feet
Tangerine paddles powering through the water
A black shadow cast of the great bird on the seabed
Darting through the water.
