very nice shot though i'm not overly keen on the setting, never heard anyone say they were too close to a green woodpecker before

quick question: assuming you don't own the land your pools are on, how did you approach landowners for permission?

Lovely shot John..............always interesting to see a less common bird drinking at the waters edge

Alan

A very nice image to have on file-the reflection makes it different from the normal greeny image

Dave

spot on,different and I like the reflection and the tongue flicking the water.

Thanks all.
Jack -its in an area near a sand quarry and the old red sandstone of this area doesn't always look good I admit.
Permission ? Just ask . I,ve never been refused yet and have made some very good friends that way. A framed pic makes a world of difference too ! Very often ,landowners like to have someone keping an eye on things anyway.

You win more than your fair share as it is John. Another great shot. I agree that the Bg is not the prettiest, but at least it isn't distracting.
