Nice weather for ducks

Went for a run around Prospect Park yesterday and saw all these beautiful geese coming in to land on the frozen lake. I thought it would make a great action shot with a telephoto lens and fast shutter speed. So this morning I headed back, through the snow and fog … only to find the geese had moved on.

So here is a slightly less mobile shot of the common duck …. he found a gap in the ice on the lake and seemed quite happy to be sitting in the freezing water.
