Greylag and Goldeneye

Greylag and Goldeneye (Anser anser, Bucephala clangula)

Oh the trouble I've had with this picture.

I cropped it without the Goldeneye in, then thought I liked it with her, so did a different crop. Then I was going to post it the other day, but couldn't think of a good title for it.

I still can't think of a good title, so gave up and am showing it to you anyway with a normal boring title!;)

Lovely scene, Delia, whatever title you give it |=)|
And no, that can't be seaweed on the rocks. The lower part of the river gets some salt water coming in on the tide, but this is a couple of miles further up, past several stretches of rapids. I think it's just moss thriving in the warm water there (just a few hundred meters below the hydroelectric plant, which slips warm water out from the turbines).

It is funny how some pictures seem to be screaming at you to entitle them a certain way while others seem to be the opposite and no good caption comes to mine. Fabulous picture D! TFS!!!!
