Another from my little pool. The winter really wallopped these in the forest here. Very flighty birds at water though. They take a long time to settle.

This is really nice John. The larger image shows a very sharp creeper. The background is graet. The leaves by the bird accentuate teh bird and add a lot IMHO. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks all . The leaves are changeing all the time and there is in fact a Rowan tree nearby. The red leaves can be a bit over the top at times but if I get out of the hide to move them it takes ages for the birds to settle down again

Great capture John! Creeper nice and sharp water has a nice softness and the colors of the fallen leaves icing on the cake.
