Beautiful plumage and reflection. The water looks like the perfect environment for those pesky mosquitoes. Just enough time to squeeze the shutter and run.
Excellent capture, what an awesome shade of blue-grey this bird is. I love seeing that flexible neck in action. Mozzies are the worst. We’re experiencing an outbreak of dengue fever at the moment; it’s small and relatively well contained, but still. I’m none too happy with the idea.
