A couple of weeks ago I had a beautiful foggy morning to shoot waterfowl and I am very happy with the way this shot turned out! I hope you like it as much as I do.

Vertical format. The water line is about 1/5 from the top. On the water line is a lone silhouetted duck on the left and facing right. There is a lot of fog on the water and above it is pitch black. Below the duck is more fog blending into a reflection of the trees in the background with the golden glow of sunrise extending to the bottom.

Wie schön kann man sein? Oo

Graugans mit orangenem Schnabel von schräg vorn fotografiert, wie sie Oberkörper und Hals elegant reckt und dabei die großen Flügel ausgebreitet hat. Man erkennt an der Unterseite die unterschiedlichen Schichten, Farben und Größen der Federn.

🌏 Australian wood duck (Chenonetta jubata) ♀

The Australian wood duck, maned duck, or maned goose is a medium-sized duck resembling a small goose. Females have brown heads with distinct white stripes above and below their eyes, and mottled underparts. Males feature a dark brown head with a small mane, a grey body, and a mottled breast. They are widely distributed across mainland Australia, favouring grasslands, woodlands, and shallow wetlands. Unlike many ducks, they primarily graze on land, often in flocks, and are frequently seen perching in trees. Their calls include croaky "gnow" sounds, with females having a louder, rising call.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

This time of year, we have a local spot for Wood Ducks, but last week, we got word that there was an unusual visitor. Lo and behold....

Gadwall from last weekend.

A brown duck with a black beak and tail swims in the water, reflecting green from the trees.

I have been playing around with a new lens that creates this beautiful donut bokeh effect. I love what it did to the background in this shot. What do you think?

Horizontal frame. White duck is sitting on grass in the lower left third of the frame and facing right. Behind the duck is the blue water of the lake and above it green trees in the distance. The background has a very soft dreamy effect due to the special lens that creates “donut bokeh” which basically means that the bright spots are rendered as circular instead of a point.

Master of the water hole.
This tough guy went after every swan that attempted to put its foot into this small non frozen space a month ago.
It was fascinating to watch.
