Great photograph Jimmy.

Whenever I see or hear the word "muskrat", my mind starts singing Captain & Tenille's song "Muskrat Love" (you'd probably have to be of a certain age to remember it).

"Muskrat Suzie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in Muskrat Land
And they shimmy... Sam is so skinny"

Thanks for the memory.

Tom

Thanks so much, Tom!
Know the song well and it does seem to fit this image, too.
Glad to bring back a hopefully fond memory!

Awesome shot, James! These two definitely look cold out there on that frozen pond. You were definitely at the right place at the right time.

Outstanding close-ups, Mark! I'm especially fond of the first image.

A really special time today just watching the interaction from such close quarters. I just leaned against the wall whilst they frolicked about 6 metres away

I really enjoy this shot, Richard. I'll bet it's a hoot to watch and photograph them during these times of interaction.

That's an apt description regarding the wrens They make for much entertainment.
Agree too on the Wattlebird. They can be feisty blighters though
