LOL indeed they're right ratbags aren't they Ian. They never seem to come close at either Kinnordy or Lintrathen.... for me at least!!! And when they are reasonably close.... up down, up down!!!

You've a great picture of these two; so you've done well laddie.
 
Great capture of the two, Ian. Anglers cause these "Diver Ducks", as they dive down as soon as you put any bait in... Carp Anglers boilies are they're favourite ;)
 
Well they are ducks, so of course they will be ducking! :king: Another lovely "pair" image, Ian.
