Just a Mallard...

on a grey loch on a grey day, with some misty rain trying to wash the snow away and soften the ice.
Not much colour, but not cold, not windy, not snowy, so OK!
There were Goldeneye too, but they kept diving.
The Squirrels in the garden must think it is Spring because they were playing chase in the Birches for ages. They are so fast, that serious shooting is not possible but wanted them in the extra.
