Thank you Cody!
Really beautiful spotting Emily! I love me some Goldeneyes!
Thanks Ashley. This was the first time I ever noticed these guys. These two were very active and even had a go at mating but those pictures didn't come out well at all!
Very nice! I've only seen these guys once and didn't get any pictures. These are great pictures though :)
