Just when you think we don't need any more Mallard shots - a pic like this comes along!
10/10!

Thanks for the comments everyone. This was my first attempt at an in flight shot, so your kind words have made it a very memorable experience for me.

If this was your 'first attempt' I can't wait to see others once you have had some more practice. One of the best 'in flight photos' I've seen . Excellent!

You've really nailed this mallard. Excellent control on the exposure and colouration

Nice photograph, any bird in flight can be so difficult to capture, and you've done an excellent job.
