Clipped the tail and wing so cropped in as it looked okay as a behaviour shot. Theres a magpie that keeps dropping in at the same spot hopefully I will get a shot of him one day.

I really like this one Roy. The detail is good , the eye is spot on, crop works well and the muted colours all work well. It may be me but I think it needs a slight ccw rotation.
Nice image

I believe I'm right in saying that these are one of the very few birds that swallow their water rather than justy tipping their heads back and letting it run down. I like this one loads, especially the reflections around the bird.

Excellent. Love the eye level viewpoint, the attractive light and the ripples in the water. :toast:
