A gorgeous image Delia, I love the contrast between the calm water in the foreground and the ripples behind this lovely bird! Nice work Lass!

Lovely duck and reflection |=)|
Oh, and I've only seen a 'cracker in the garden once, when I was down at the bottom of the garden picking currants. Not very likely I'll happen to be down there when s/he comes back to collect from the cache, but I could be surprised some day.
