Very nice series here. Your gonna love this lens. :)

Kind of odd to see baby ducks going into wonter here though. That's why I love this forum. :)

Nice shots, those babies are really cute...

Nice series and if you like the 400 half as much as I like mine then you will have it for a very long time.
