Of course it is HIS pond lol

It was kind of him to allow you to photograph him - but then he probably knew you would make a fine job of it and you have.

Love those blue eyes... looks like he's trying to give Mr. Sinatra a run for his money. "Tis the time of year when male birds are starting to stake their claims... the females will be arriving presently and then Mr. Blue Eyes will have to show he's the biggest and best. I like his 'low rider' stance.

Unusual bird - Has a beak like a cormorant but also has fancy colours. Great image - He probably wasn't sure you had got your photo right!

If you shoot with your Gun next time instead of your Canon I bet you can reclaim your Pond.

One Blue Eye huh ? You should name him Frank, the Blue Eyed Crooner. They will sing you know.

Good 'Un Pat.

I think he is all teared up from reading these nice comments about him Owd Momma. His nose is even running. sob-sob. I like the reflection. I will look forward to more.

What a strange looking bird he is. When I saw this in the VB, I remembered him from your other shot. He looks so fine in this great capture, Pat. I love all the colors in here.

Lots of lovely detail and it's sharp in all the right places. The blue of his eye is terrific. Looks like you don't really mind having your pond taken over Momma.
