Caught this fella just after he took a sip of water. Was hoping to catch a falling drop, but it slid down his beak instead :roll:

Comments welcome and thanks for looking

Beautifully done, Dave. Exposure is nailed. Great serrated bill. The best of all may be the silvery water.

This is a really cool shot. Love the detailed serration and water. Nothing like a "neat" drinker!
