@AlanGMarz @gregmoore Thank you! I've been chasing them for a number of years now without luck, so was really pleased get one in a frame.

@purisubzi I know the feeling. I spent some time watching our local hawk soar today, wishing I had a zoom lens on me.

The sunlight was on your side in your photo.

@gregmoore Yes, I got very lucky. It's been miserable and grey these past couple of months and just for that day, the sun came out and a friend had left his 500mm lens behind for a few days.

@purisubzi It sounds like it was meant to be. I’m happy you were able to enjoy the day and come away with a keepsake.

@purisubzi I can’t help but feel sorry for the small ducks. 😢 No contest.

@purisubzi that’s a great picture of a fantastic bird. We get them here in the UK at the far western extent of their range.

@strandlines Thank you! Although they migrate to Southern India each year, they are rare visitors to my particular city.
