Snowwhite smew
Some birds are hard to catch. I once described the effort it took me to photograph a little grebe (flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/51853338632/in/dateposted/). The same can be said about the smew.
I often have seen them, although they are not very common, but when they see me they often flee away ASAP.
Here I just caught him in time, because I took this image from a bird observatory hut, but he already had heard me stumbling in (clumsy me), so he was on his way to the exit.
It means I still have to wait for the perfect shot, but I like the setting. To exaggerate it a bit, I have got away with the light blue reflections from the sky on the water, and so make it more explicit.
Merry Xmas!
