Ducks — Fan Of… #154

ยท

Hi All ๐Ÿ‘‹ Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking, “I’m a fan ofโ€ฆ” (see below for how-to).

This weeks Fan Of… is more ducks. These ones were mainly photographed down at the Forth & clyde Canal.

I had nicely lined up this female mallard for a couple of shots…

…when she got startled into flight by a male mallard.

I tried to follow them, but low light & extreme range of my zoom lens meant that it was difficult

This female mallard came over to see us where we had stopped, watched us for a while, scratched her ear, posed for a final shot & said goodbye.

…and finally, a few more ducks to round off this post.

    Ducks are such good subjects, aren’t they? And so difficult to photograph in flight …
    I’ve got some birds on offer as well today: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2022/05/02/im-a-fan-of-pheasants/

      They really are difficult to catch in flight, particularly on dull days
