Lovely! But I think I need to stop browsing now. I'm in hospital (nothing dramatic, just one of my usual episodes that requires a few hours of hydration and pain relief) and it strikes me that when that stripy leaf by his bill set up a whole swirling, rings-on-water effect in my "reading" of the image, that it might not be the leaf so much as the morphine kicking in

Does "Ammo Pond" mean what I think it means Stanley? We don't use that term over here for anything.

What a great picture that is.... and I had to laugh at Ann's comment about the 'swirling' on the leaf under his bill..... what a lovely pattern that makes, when your eyes settle down!

A super job you've done here lad, thanks.

Nice to see them perched like this and not in the water. Beautifully captured guy.
