Long Tailed Duck

Beautiful day here in Hampshire, the Ivy lakes are particularly lovely this morning.
Despite the fact that the lakes are so close to the A27 there are places on the complex where you can't here any traffic noise at all, just the sound of waterfowl near and far.
Sat on the bank side with a cup of coffee from my flask i wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
