Well, we had some more sun yesterday, amazingly. So i quickly went down to the local lake, not expecting anything special. Then saw my first Common Goldeneye! Not so common around here though. These are seriously beautiful birds, I really want to see more.

Great exposure and pose Seany. You've caught the green head nicely.

Congrats on the first! I have yet to see one. Sharp image and nice exposure.
Did you point a gun at him? If no, then why the "wings up"?:lol:

Thanks Fee, Reyno and Stephen.

Well he could have thought my 500 was some sort of launcher =p.

Great shot. It's usually very hard to get close to these (at least here in Iceland). :-)


Best regards
