Gotta love Gilbert.
But even with the copious amounts of birds, you still had to do your part.
Well done.

That's a really good shot. And the reflection is perfect.

Wow! That's really really really really really great!

One thing I love about Ring-necks is the way they hold their head at a slightly downward angle shortly after take-off. I don't believe I've observed that in any other diving duck.

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

Lucky in your timing maybe, skill everywhere else!
Beautiful IF to start with, but you managed a wonderful reflection on still water and all in crisp focus. If you were to look up the definition of a "keeper", this picture would be there. Excellent job!
