This duck decided that the food on the edge of the waterfall was better than that in the calmer water... quackers !!!

Re: Virginia Water

"Quackers" groan otherwise looks like he's doing an impression of a salmon swimming back up-stream!

Your Mandarin looks like he's swimming downhill - otherwise pretty good...

Thanks C-F... if you have a look in the Landscapes thread you will see the waterfall he was standing on the edge of.

Hadn't noticed the downhill swimming but you are right. Was too busy patting myself on the back as I used a 100-400 L lens for this one on a day that had the occasional shower of rain in the morning. Will get it sorted
