A very nice image all the same.

Thanks Matt.
Glad somebody likes it. Had 5 views in less than a minute a while back -That must be a record

This is one of the adults which turned up a bit later. Needless to say during the dry spell earlier ion the year.

Very nice bunny shots JR. As I have said before that D7000 & Sigma combo produce some cracking detailed images.

I like both shots, John. I presume now that the rain has returned you are not seeing them?

That really is cute, all it needs is a Stoat hanging from it's neck for the perfect mammal pool shot, only kidding everyone, though a Stoat at the pool would be awesome.

As ever John, detail, clarity and sharpness are all superb

Andy...

Second is my favourite John. The pose is so laid back. Perhaps darken down the broken ends of the branch.
