Love this time of the year when the shorties show up.

Me too. Been out to shoot them a couple of times already. Always fantastic subjects

These guys don't really allow close approach here, plus we really do not see them much, if at all most years - nice! Good down-the barrel stare. Nice light - a bit from the left, rendering the one eye in shadow, but still ok. There are a couple of more prominent grasses that I would have been tempted to remove, but overall the grassy habitat looks good.

Pleasing colours and pleasant environment - natural looking - my kind of shot !
