Duck!!!!!
Amazing birds and even more amazing this close. I was hoping the bird would fly straight at me but I'm also quite happy with this.

iso 400 1/1600 sec. F7.1

Super image Edwin. You have just got to be real pleased with this one. :toast:
Will be on the isle of Mull and North Uist in May but dont think I will achieve anything like this with SE's.
