Picture taken yesterday from a long distance. It is more for interest then anything but the male is colourful. I had to use my 1.7 tc to get close enough but even then had to crop but as I say more for interst on an unusual visiter.

I am assuming these are truly wild bird, so you should be pleased with this image despite the distance> The ones i have in Bushy Park eat bread...get the picture

Hi Dave,
I have a few wild RCP that I photograph and they aren't easy to get close too! If I'd shot this I'd been more than happy! They always seem to be swimming away don't they!
What a peculiar head shape. Never seen these, let alone photographed a pair. Well done.

As you say just a bit far away and difficult to improve. Still you have a shot in the bag which is more than I have and the next one will be better! Eric
