My first try shooting ducks (with my camera of course)

Took a long walk yesterday with my camera in the bag and spotted a lot of wild ducks. After looking at some of the threads in this section, and seeing some extraordinary photos, I'm almost a bit ashamed for posting here.

The photos were taken in the middle of the day so the sunlight was really harsh. C&C is welcome as always, and if you have any good pointers for shooting ducks / birds with a rather short lens (70-200), feel free to educate me

A few more shots in my flickr gallery.

#3 is great, love the in flight shot, nice work

You did great well done

Thanks you so much! I think the reflection in #1 made it a bit special

In #3 I was quite lucky with the focus but I guess we all need a bit of luck sometimes.

Very nice captures indeed.
