Never heard that local name before, John. Nice, and very natural looking, shot.

Lovely shot John, one of my favourite species! Nice strolling pose with the foot up too! If I was being overly critical then the dark object and reflection top right are a little annoying, but really not a big issue with me.

Thats funny, when I was a kid we used to call Pied Wags polly dish washers for some reason :confused: , although I am only 26 so perhaps it evolved over the years :biggrin:

Really nice pose, and a nice glimpse of the surrounding environment.

Nicely done John,

The foot up is a bonus.
