Mallard

OK… It’s another duck but I’m pleased with this one as it was quite close (there’s hardly any cropping on this one) and I managed to pan with it successfully. Usually when they’re this close I tend to flap about all over the place and end up with only half wing or a duck’s arse in frame. I also really enjoyed just ambling around the park lake checking up on the coots and swans, especially since it’s been cooler today… even the rain didn’t bother me.
