Another from the wildfowl zoo of Martin Mere, I never realised how fine their feathers were on their head. I'm always seduced by their colour.

Nice image as ever Tim. Stunning Birds aren't they. I know of some wildies near me if your interested?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for that, but do have some locally that congregate into a forty strong flock in November. They are stunning, very photogenic, but generally very shy.
