Now this is more my style, not those weird fungi-fied bugs! (but some people like them)
Great capture!

How on earth did you get this close to it?!? I count myself lucky to see the back of one swimming away, from ten paces. Wibble.

Green with envy! Even glimpsing one is a note-worthy occasion for me.

thanks for the comments:)
luckily we had them reintroduced to a few places in sussex,and they seem to of spread to some surrounding areas,but probably only because the mink are controlled ...i so want it to work for them,but i personally think we have too many mink(and even farm cats)too much pollution and habitat destruction now in nearby areas for them to spread properly ...theyre just not designed to deal with this stuff,poor defenceless little things...In the wild,with a bit of patience,I find it quite easy to get reasonably close after their initial shock of seeing me...maybe ive been lucky,but dont think ive ever seen a shy one:)theyre just too busy eating all the time...theirs some in the arundel wwt reserve,those ones are very used to seeing people....I used to see them often as a kid in my hometown in the north east,but like everywhere else,they vanished too:(
