New year activity on the marsh

[David Morison]

Sorry about this but I came across some Pintails, my favourite duck, at Frampton Marsh RSPB yesterday and had to knock off a few shots. Unfortunately as is my normal luck, all these birds were at some distance (it's a big reserve) soI had to go for the Canon 400mm plus 1.4x with my E-M1 so not all shots were super sharp using MF hand-held. these were the best:









A pair of Goldeneye were also actively diving and coming up with sticky mud on their bills:





And finally a drake Gadwall enjoying the New Year sunshine:

Would be plenty good enough for me.
The drake must have recognised you and gave you a wave

They are obviously enjoying the sunshine while it lasted!
