Lovely shot John! I like the eye contact.

I found what I thought was a breeding site as they where collecting mud like above but then they all disappeared, any idea what would cause that?

Never easy to make them look good John when ther doing this one. Even harder when you get down on your belly :biggrin:
Just starting to look a little grainy. As you say great subjects to watch going about their duties. :toast:
