LOL! Thanks for the chuckle. No wonder the other two were like, "Errrr.....he's not with us.":lol:
Very good timing.

Thnaks Fee. Unfortunately my CF card was full so I missed the shots of the chick biting the neck of a passer-by! ;):D

Great shot!

I never thought I would see the words 'scary' and 'dabchick' used in such close proximity :)

Well there is a first for everything. For interest sake you might like to know that these were taken at Southport.

Thanks Keith - I think the eye stripes add to the comic factor.

These guys were not on the lake directly in front of the hide but the one to the right, towards the town.

Thanks for the location tip Damian, I went down there this evening and got a few shots of 'Duckula' ;) He was obviously not feeling peckish as he didn't turn into a vampire once.

Nothing much else around, apart from the usual suspects, but I grabbed a couple of this heron on the way back to the car.
