Canop Ponds in the Forest of Dean is always one of my favourite and peaceful places to visit. It was a lovely early morning with the sun gleaming through the trees. There are always Little Grebes on this pond and with patience they will come in quite close. They are great little birds and seem to have territories on the pond that they try and keep to themselves. They are very efficient fishing birds and seem to spend some time cleaning and manipulating their catch before swallowing it. This gives an opportunity for some interesting images!

Of course where there are good fishing opportunities Cormorants are never far away these days.
They like to hang out in the trees to dry off after a fishing trip.

That was a great way to spend a morning!
