Duck Attack!
This is what happens when even something as big as a Canada Goose decides to take an interest in a mallards ducklings!
EOS 30D
Sigma 500mm
exp 1/1000 @ f5.6 iso 320

I hope this comes out OK on the forum as I have had problems when compressing files.

Great action shot Robert. A pity the top wing is clipped and I'm not sure it is sitting right in the frame for the best comp, but you have captured an important piece of behaviour and you take what comes in these circumstances.

Hi Robert,

Very nice behaviourial image! I agree with Eric about the clipping of the wing - shame!

Great capture!

I agree about the nit, but doesn't bother me. I quite like the comp as you can see a duckling in the background - so you know whats going on...

Brilliant to capture the action!
