Spot on John! Nice and large in the frame too which I like.

Lovely, sharp shot of a species I have totally failed to even see this winter. The reds do look a little strong to me, but you are the guy who was there at the time.

Thanks.
The dead leaves in the water always make it look a bit that colour I but could easily drop it a bit.
I had to walk 100 yards to get this too! I must.nt over do the exertion !
