This bird looks mean! Its very sharp and great colours - I wonder if its a baby - can you lose the highlight on the water?
Just the right amount of space around him/her!.
Thanks Julie. The bird is probably about 3 to 4 years old; by about 5 the plumage is almost entirely white across the wings. The juveniles are much darker and don't have the yellow around the head. If I were entering it into a competition I'd lose the highlight - it's judge bait - but I honestly don't mind it...
