Some great reflective photos posted. I haven't got any good bird reflection pics, but I have these that I took of the flooded water meadows along the River Derwent near my home in Bubwith in Feb 2008. It was cold, sunny and very still.

You're right there Ruth - 80% humidity, 40 degrees +. Thank Goodness for air-conditioning. I was literally melting out on site today. Must have drank at least 2 litres of water.

Bubwith Ings are a great sight when they are in flood, especially on crisp winter days. I love the pics I posted - had a wonderful walk along the flood protection embankment that afternoon and managed to capture some great shots - couple more attached.
