Fantastic little bird, and a pretty good shot of it too, these very tiny birds are very quick. Good work, JR. Good to see you're still doing the 2D stuff :wink:

I reckon your pools must have a longer species list than some RSPB reserves. A fine addition to the collection.

Wow that must have been fantastic to see it there! Lovely shot too. Out of interest, how many species have you ever had at that pool?

One of the wonders of the natural world that pool John, the BBC done a documentary on it yet? Still a species I have yet to nail, well done.
