So nicely done and framed, Mike! It's a real challenge getting these in flight but you did a sterling job.

Long-Tailed duck have a very comical way of landing in the water, they kind of just belly flop into it.

Thanks Sogs, these shots tend to be hit and miss (mostly miss!) as the birds are so close (5-6 metres) and the action happens so fast they are hard to frame and follow. :-)

I have so many shots of them OOF, exiting the frame or being photo bombed by another OOF bird entering the frame... :cry:

Cheers

Dennis

Terrific head-on shot of the Sanderling, EB! It really came out nice. Head-on shots are almost always tough for me.

Absolutely gorgeous, Dennis! I'm jealous. It's simply unfair that you are able capture these amazingly beautiful shots in your own backyard. :-P :lol:
