    Not too good at balancing out of the water, perhaps he's having a go at log rolling.

    But once steadied, was bravely stood on the edge, perhaps admiring the reflection.

    Brilliant photos, Rolf!

    The first one is hilarious - and the reflection in the second is just perfect!

    The third one is a great shot too - managing to get the birds to create the composition themselves

    ROFL - great catch, and very nicely taken.
    In these straitened times, even the birds have had to take on work wherever they can find it, although I think that this little chap should reconsider log-rolling..
