    A beautiful day on the marsh and quite a few photographers taking advantage of the light, well worth the return visit.

    What absolutely brilliant photos, Rolf!

    That first one is amazing, and shows so well how it gets its name! FABULOUS! Bravo!

    (I guess we're never going to hear the end of this one now!)
