A beautiful image of my favourite duck (even if it looks a little scruffy in this plumage) with the ripples producing fascinating reflections. Nice work Donald!

Oh goodness.... I don't think I've ever seen a juvenile before, either for real or in the Gallery either Donald!!!

What a great find for you lad.

I'll upload this picture to The Opus shortly - many thanks for sharing him with us.
