I was to meet my buddy at the harbour when he left work yesterday. I got there early and had a few opportunities for some flight shots while I waited.

Unfortunately for him, by the time he arrived, they had stopped flying. I had to take the poor guy out and buy him a coffee in which to drown his sorrows.

I wish these guys would fly a little lower.

Superb shots Harv. This encourages me to give ducks a try. They are often so underrated but you have really made them outstanding.

That 3rd shot is really nice, I love how it shows the wing color so clearly.

Great shots Harv. I'm looking forward to the day when I'm able to track BIF with longer, heavier lenses.
