A Northern Shoveler landing in a lake
A medium sized colorful duck that many photographers here love to shoot. They are winter visitors and seen in shallow lakes around the city and countryside. They are often seen in 100's in good times like this season. These ducks are hunted by Falcons and other raptors and in the lake I visit, we sighted one of these ducks killed and half eaten by a Peregrine Falcon.
Shot this in a lake on the edge of the city last season which hosted 100's of these ducks and a variety of other waders. The place was bustling with activity and was great for bird photography. After a pack of feral dogs came to the other bank, the birds flew towards me giving me this shot. They took a wide curve and landed pretty far away.
Appreciate all your views and feedback. Many thanks in advance.
