Of the wild ones, Chris Nixon is the likeliest to see them as he’s resident up in the Scotland. This chap lives in Arundel in Sussex. I call him Daffy due to his distinctive beak
See this on Flickr, Zooomr, SmugMug, Ipernity.
he's so camouflaged you can hardly see him - or so he thought! I love the framing of him against the reeds - even if the subject is a little lethargic!

Great shot!
