First of this years migrants at the pool this year.
Know it was one , 'cos it sat in a branch before bathing going "chiff-chaff " These little guys are fast especially when at water.
Light not good though. Stuff should start to come more now though.

Great shot john, the crop works well and I love the water. I like the oof and in focus rocks, they draw you into the bird.

Thanks both. Just realised I forgot to do a bit of noise reduction but never mind.

Lack of NR doesn't hurt a very nice image John... the blurred water droplets make the image...
