I really like this one Rosa...............especially the colour of the water and the lovely distorted golden reflections of the reeds.

A super set of ducks too...........the mallards are really well camouflaged, and I had to hunt for them.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
The blue sky and sun were most welcomed Keith. We are usually lucky when we visit Weymouth. The nature reserve is very special and right next to the towns largest car park! It all sits very well together though and has a great visitor centre.

I'm pleased you noticed the two shy mallards and many thanks for your kind comments.
