A very nice boy indeed and great composition.

fabulous macro shot there John.

Lovely shot of the Egret and the Cormorant Snappy. We once had a little Egret turn up on our pond. It didn't hang around for long. I need to get back to our local Reservoir and get some photos. don't see the large Egrets around here though.
