Hello Mark, I see these birds at the lake near my place I didn't know what they were called. Now I do. Nice clear shot with plenty of detail on this hen, BG nicely out of focus.
Thanks
Santo

Hello Mark. Excellent perch of this bird with the head turn at the edge of the pond. Well exposed plumage and sharp detail in the head. Thanks for sharing and best regards. Jusni
