Checking to see if the coast is clear

This was the first time we had actually seen a fish in the ponds, although we knew they had to be around, somewhere.

*****

We’ve now been to the Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens twice in the past month after keeping away during the worst (or the previous worst) of the pandemic. In addition to them being stunningly beautiful, it’s nice to see so many people there enjoying nature.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

The reason to go in the morning, posted earlier:

How cool! At first glance I thought it was some kind of turtle with a strange shell!

Very timely and well captioned image.

a bit furtive, but caution is always a good idea...looks like a carp of some sort, and seems to burp bubbles as it goes..

What a great catch - appears that the bubble brought out the curiosity of fish. V

A fine shot of this fish, I don't recognize what kind it is.
