The first image is particularly satisfactory - the one among the three that I wish most that I had taken.

Here are a few pictures from a puddle that I keep topped up with water. Taken with my K3iii/FA*600mm F4 ED [IF]/RRS BH-55/Eckla window mount.

That Brown Falcon looks like 'Alfred', (I think that's what someone's named him) probably the most photographed BF this side of the black stump, and it looks like he's perched on the same thistles as when I last saw him.

Cheers,

There were several of them around on the day. This one didn't seem at all perturbed about being photographed.

So that is the secret of that muddy water edge - up until now I have been assuming that were seeing the edge of a dam.

Another great series, Gary. Love the fox too.

Thanks.

In the summer months I always have a couple of jerry cans full of water in the boot [trunk] of the car. It works better after a dry spell because there are no other puddles about.
