This young individual allowed close approach this summer. It was, however, always with some reeds in the way for me to get down as low as I usually prefer. This was fine on this occasion where the reflections were "decent-ish" (but far from prefect), and the view of the water being stirred up by its movements made more visible by the higher vantage point. I liked the water patterns of this frame best out of the series of that morning's session.
