Juvenile Little Stint

I found this juvenile Little Stint at my old stamping ground of Prior's Fen at the weekend. Bird number 181 for my PBC year list and my 167th find tick of the year (a new record for me, I think). It was much nicer in real life than these digiscoped record shots show...

Bottlenosed Dolphin play

The dolphin on the left was swimming on its back/side, while the one on the right came from the right. Play or flirtation?
