Grumpy.....

Hi,

Not a lot of time for photography at the moment... took a trip to a local reserve on Sunday, this was the look a Mallard got when she settled in the Herons favourite spot..... She soon moved on.

All the best

Crikey Phil, this really is a grumpy shot :smile:

The more i look at it, the more i feel for this chap :frown: .

A nice shot to have, and the lighting really adds to the mood.
