Nice Ian but it must have been really bright as his eyes are closed.

He was asleep - along with most of the others, many with their beaks tucked into their shoulders

It's a lovely picture. I like seeing those swirls and details on the surface of the water as well seeing the duck.

I like the first pic - first Pochard I have seen, so thanks for that.

Presumably you were using the 70-300 lens on the E5 Ian?

Looking again at the Pochard it shows. Good detailing.

And taken through the glass of the hide window as well - the open area was too cold

PS Not really a hide, but an elevated viewing area, but the wildfowl ignore it.
