an American one! Unfortunately I never got chance to shoot these from a lower angle, I kept getting spotted as I crawled around in the bushes, the light was getting hard as well sadly.

Why is it one loses the plot completely sometimes! I wouldn't mind if it was the result of alcohol or something......mmmmm....I was 50 last week, maybe it's a warning sign!

A lovely bird at this time of year-very colourful, A lower POV would have been nice,The light is quite harsh but you have handled it well,a slight head turn would have improved it imho-where was it taken, I have shot these in California

Beautiful bird and wonderful water too. American light is very harsh very early, but at least they seem to have plenty of it.
