A pair of spot-billed ducks (drakes per my guide book) at sunrise from Mudumalai forest area in S India. They are also known as grey ducks. I had the opportunity to visit the area last month in the middle of a business/personal trip.

1D3/600mm+1.4x, ISO1000, 1/80s@F7.1, -1Ev, Tripod.

Thanks for looking.

Great birds with beautiful colors. Angle is nice and slight reflection is good. I wish that the BG were totally blurred - some post processing work could help if you choose to go that route
