Managed to get a few shots in although it was rather some distance from where I was in a hide, there were some problems with grasses too infront of the lens!

Its a nice image given the conditions you describe... public hides can be quite frustrating at times, but it is good to get a record.

Yes a good record shot. I like the BG caused by the ripples in the water.

Well spotted and captured.

Public hides aren't easy to use they always seem to be the wrong height.
