lovely behavioural capture Ken! what was it digging for?

[Rachel Hollander]

Interesting behavior Ken, would like to hear a little more about this sighting. How long was it doing this? There seems to be a strange circle near where the oof grass starts to the right of and just about even with the dog's back.

TFS,
Rachel

Thanks for your comments.

I have never seen this kind of behaviour before, not wishing to be "anthromorphic", but I think it was just playing ducking into the water, or at least cooling off.

Rachel,

Well spotted, it is in the RAW as well, no idea what it could be?

It lasted around 20 seconds annd then presumably fully rereshed charged of to resume play.
