Great work Darren and the Stilt being my favorite, the reflection is an added bonus as well.

The firs shot is magic. I love the reflection and the effect that the still water creates. Niely done!

These are simply lovely shots, and I think even if those ducks were the most common malards seen in city parks round the world, that would be the most priceless duck shot EVER! The fact that it is a rare species is simply icing in this case.

You absolutley HAVE to get that shot published!
