Dancing on ice! or hop flap and slip!!

With no wind it was a mirror finish.

With the thaw having set in (shame!) there was a very deceptive layer of water laying on the surface of the ice. Which provided endless amusement as the various birds tried some stunning

landing techniques. the chap or chapess above had the right idea run over it!!

This one got it sort of right!! (an ice cold enema,, no thanks)

The one legged slid! (Showoff)

All looks good until you do a belly flop!!!

They soon got a bit wary.

The Tufted ducks stayed on the open water apart from the quick circuit of the lake just in case there was a new patch.

Cheers
