Hi Guys,
As winter sets in a lot of the "winter-ducks" are revisiting The Netherlands again. I just love photographing al these gorgeous species like Northern Pintail, Common Goldeneye, Ruddy Duch, Tufted Duck etc etc but also the more regular winter visitors like this Eurasian Wigeon is beautifully colored and it's always a joy to get some flight shots of them.
Greetings,

My favourite duck, Jeroen, and one we see many of at Carsington. A good flight shot there showing off the speculum really well.
