Gently, gently does it...
Firstly, Happy New Year to all.

Not got out much with this dam cold, but made the effort towards the later part of the day and probably missed what little sun there was :-(

This 'Coot' was trying to make his/her way across the frozen water, but with those feet, it was more like Ronald McDonald!

Paul H, I guess we had similar thoughts :biggrin:

Superb! Love the light, love the eye and the cautious pose says a lot about walking on ice.

Great minds eh Stephen :biggrin: Wonderful shot, love everything about it. I only wish I could get down for a low view point as in your shot but unfortunately I can only make use of the hide at our local reserve.

That's a great shot. He really does look as though he is being careful.
