Haha...I imagined the full picture just by reading the title and checking the thumbnail..This sure brought a big smile ...is Ralph the one in the pond ? :biggrin:
little more room on both sides would have added I guess..

Very funny and good composition. I wish they were just a little more in focus on the larger version but an entertaining image, way to go.

I dunno, Randy. Black-bellied Whistling Ducks always look confused to me. Is that a Common Moorhen on the right?

A funny shot and title, at first I thought the moorhen was Ralph as he is what really grabs my attention in this shot Randy :toast:

Yes Jim that's a Common Moorhen and to be honest, it's quite possible that there were 2 Moorhens on the bank a minute or so before this shot was taken.
