Shoveler in pursuit ...
This was the start of a protracted bout of aggression, which was slighly strange given that these were the only two birds around on 100 acres of water!

May be worth extending the canvas to the left? Any thoughts welcome.

Didn't realise you could do it with just a teleconverter Dave :biggrin: But great action and well timed.

Nice bit of action going on Dave and colourful subjects to add to it.

Nice action going on and nice colours too. I like how the bird at the back has his beak behind the splashing water, but you can still see the beak.
