Things picking up a bit in the pool at last. A lot in partial moult though. This is the only migrant I have had since I rebuilt the pool after the floods. You never know what might turn up this time of year.

Hi John,
Great shot, but it does look to me as though it needs a slight CCW rotation.

Thanks David
Pity the other 80 viewers didn't notice it

Looks better but had rto do a bit of cloning due to the rotation on the small one.

Re-post looks better JR and up to your usual high quality. Lovely colours on the bird with a nice soft light.
Nick.

Phil - I know !! If you wait till they,ve had a splash though the ripples break up the reflection. I really must be more careful JR
