Thanks both. Looking at the shot again the top of the beak looks nearly blown. Trouble is , they don't go blue until the breeding season. I,ll have to paint it in !

Another wonderful image from your great pool.
Beautiful colors of feathers, very nice pose and composition.
Bg colours are nicely complimenting with bird colors.


Regards,
Satish.

Very nice John. Love the ripples on the water (small thing I know) youhave caught the colours beautifully, I had no idea they had colours on the wing like that.
