How wonderful to see one of these, Belinda. Their numbers here have been greatly reduced.

  It was, Eliza.
  How awful, it seems disease and habitat loss are taking their toll.

I love the ripples of water that are formed as it swims by.

  It’s always nice to capture an animal’s motion in the water. It almost makes the viewer see the scene as I did.

Nice – I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in action!

  Thank you! You’re lucky to see one as they glide through the vegetation.

I can ‘see’ the movement in your photograph and ‘hear’ little splashes of water in its wake!

Nice catch, Belinda! Is this recent? I have seen a few in winter but not often.

  Thanks, Steve! I took this early last Spring. Waterways are all frozen here 😏
