Moist Mallard!

It was very wet this morning when I was first out and about. A quick visit to my usual stomping ground hoping to find something to blip. Most of the birds were far out on the loch or sleeping on the water's edge while the rain battered on their backs. I didn't have to wait too long before this mallard swam into view - a quick snap with my smaller camera and then back to the car.
