Another beautiful image Ian,I think I saw you there the other day :confused: :confused: Love the composition and reflection captured here,brillant :wink: :wavey:

that's a nice one Ian, I like the reflection. I have a similar shot taken at the same location somewhere in my files (although not as nice). The problem I seem to find is that a 400mm lens is not enough from the other side of the canal - did you use a converter here?

Hi Matt,

no converter just straight 400mm

Great subject Ian done very well.
I was there back in September and couldnt keep away from the place and these fantastic mammals. Good to hear there is a bit of a revival in certain parts of the country.

Major.
