Spadger with a drip.
Often under rated birds in my opinion. Not as common as they used to be.
A re worked one from the woodland pool near the house.. Its acually not raining today which make a change !

Shadows lift in vimas filter studio.
Cheers Think I,ve got the computer sorted. but the constant wet weather has made it useless for my pool stuff.

Great image, John. I love his surroundings, the detail of his feathers, and that little water drop on his beak just really is the icing on the cake. Well done.

Beautiful detail and I like all the leaves in the pond, John. The log is a nice touch.
