I took this image at Minsmere a bird reserve in East Anglia, not far from me, where a lovely family of wild Watervoles were building their individual platforms in the water.

We must have watched this little fella for over half an hour, he was quite oblivious of us watching him, he was so involved in building his platform he didnt even notice us!
I must have taken over 20 shots but he was so fast and the reeds were so thick it was almost impossible to capture him, this was the only shot I got that wasn't too blurred!

A wonderful sight to watch a wild animal so close!
