Hi All,
Having just seen Doug's post of a hooded merganser I thought that you might like to see this little fellow. I shot this last week at the Radipole Lake RSPB reserve in Weymouth on the South coast of England. He is a wild bird - unringed - and I was told that he arrived a few months ago looking very bedraggled. The wardens do not know how he got there, but being an American bird he is obviously very far from home. He seems quite happy and sociable amongst the mallards and tufted ducks and at the moment his plumage looks pristine and absolutely beautiful!
40D 100-400 @ 400mm
ISO 800
AV F8 1/800 sec
I know that the crop is tight but that's the way I like 'em!!
Look forward to your c & c's - many thanks!
Regards to all,
Nicki
