Coot

A cool blustery day, very disappointing for a Bank Holiday.
Just went for a quick walk around Stephenstown Pond where
the coots and mallards were trying to find shelter from the
waves.

It looks like a happy coot.

This is a very emotive shot. I think it sums up the day as you described it. V

A wonderful shot of that coot face. The lines and patterns in the water are especially fascinating.

Lovely ripples and colours. Nice shot Mairead. V

This is very nice: the ripples, the reflection and the water drops on it's back.

Oh this is a classy shot! ... the black ripples complimenting the main feature are wonderful ... V

Bank-hol weather: water off a duck's back :o)

That's scarily coincidental (as you'll see from my own shot for the 5th), though I had some more pleasant weather for mine.
I like the textures of the water here, with a nice fast speed capturing the ripples; that combined with the colour really gives the feeling of the weather that you describe.
