Very good capture of this young bird. I think it liked its photo being taken.

Hi

Thank you all for the kind comments. I saw the chicks again today as I was fishing for Trout (good day caught ten Trout). The feathers on the head have filled in and they look prettier already. Lots of Mallards showing of their chicks on the pools. A pair of Mute swans sitting six eggs, it makes a lovely day out.
