I Really do want to express my sincere thanks to you all for the interest & comments regarding this image.As you all know I spend much of my time by the river,sometimes fruitless & sometimes rewarding ,one never knows what a 12 hour day will bring.
Watching this unfold was a very special moment for me & i'm glad I managed to capture a few images to share,despite the heart palpitations and quivering hands Tongue

The UA's as always are most appreciated and THANK YOU All for giving.......It makes it all worthwhile.

Very Best Wishes
Dean
