As this is my favorite time of year for the wintering species that we have here for the season.
I was happy to get this Teal on the move and his plumage was looking quite nice....;)

Stunning, Jim. Even the curve of the wave behind matches the curve of the body.

Fantastic capture Jim, I think that it is possible to count each of the feathers of this drake :D. The exposure job is superb. The wing pose and eye contact are really good too. Very, very well done!
