The smallest of the 'sawbill' ducks, and very pretty IMO...



NOTE; not wild... taken at WWT Barnes in the captive area on Sunday - in the SUN

Nice image but not sure about the green in the reflections above the bird but I do like the distorted reflection below

Hi Alan;

I considered toning down or cropping out the greens, but, on balance, decided I liked it as it was; but I appreciate your commentary...

Re: Hooded Merganser

Wow! A lovely shot. I like the sharpness of the duck and the feather-like appearance of the water in the background.

Regards,

Carol

Excellent shot Lee. The pattern in the water really makes the shot.

Beautiful, Lee

Personally I really like the texture of the bokeh and love the transition from greens to blue. I'd be very pleased with that shot if it was mine.
