;) Marian, I agree with you, it's remarkable how the bird looks quite indifferent to the water and foam all around...:king: A few more minutes and it will fall asleep!:-O:-O:-O
 
Wonderful habitat shot,Marian. Full of action and in great contrast to the sleeping beauty. It rocks! Laying on the rail,you or the camera? ;); Wished i didn't had to scroll every time i'm making a comment. Notify me when you make the next upload and i'll try to be the first for a change! ;); Well done. :clap:
