    Congratulations Sid!

    Mallards don't get too much love. But when the light is right, they can be quite stunning.
    I was photographing Ring Necked ducks in San Diego when this guy came screeching past and did a full bank.
    It sometimes pays to keep your peripheral vision engaged.

    All comments appreciated.
    Thanks.
