Reason	as this bird cannot fly, the 'drying wings' position serves to kill parasites too -- Charles (talk)
Review (criteria)	Support - Quite a useful image that gives its audience an insight into the illustrated activity of this species. Of the images of this scope, it illustrates the clearest view, helped significantly by how the bird is posed, the position of the camera directly behind in full view of the wingspan, and the contrast between the bird's dark-coloured wings and the lighter blue of the water in the background. -- Philip Terry Graham (talk) 13:30, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply] `Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
