      Wow! A superb photo of the pink-eared duck! I tried to get close to them several times but got nowhere. Well done!

      Thanks kasia-aus. I know what you mean.

      My experience is that the only way you can get close enough (without a mega-lens) is to find a spot where the ducks are unaware of your presence. Solve that and all that remains are what I have found to be the aspiring nature photographer's staunchest allies: patience and luck.

      Your patience and luck have been rewarded handsomely, an excellent capture, well done.
      The only time that water fowl of any sort are unaware of my presence is when I,m back at the car park:-) lol

      Very nice. Good to see the pink feathers as well.

      Beautiful Leo -- I'd like to hear more about the circumstances of your getting some of your photos. i.e. how exactly you found a spot where it was unaware of your presence! I've never succeeded even at FSP. This is a terrific PED, the best I've seen.
