Once in a while a strange shot pops out of the 60 taken. I can't tel what are those extra feathers but it makes for a very strange photo.

I think Jane is right about the preening Yves. I find backlighting to be pretty difficult to take. Nicely done Yves, I really like the action in the water.

Yes, very different. Maybe he was just finishing preening?
