Very nice. Love the vivid colours.
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Thanks guys I've got a few more that I was also happy with yesterday. Maybe even one that is possibly better than this. I'm undecided.
Thanks for your comments.
Re the lens. It was the "Bigma" Sigma 170-500 f4.5-6.7 A pretty good lens for birding in decent light. Next challenge I think is to get a good shot of a duck coming into land straight on towards me.

Lovely shot all round. So hard to do unless you've tried. The important bits are sharp and I like the blurred wings. Prefer the first one.

Nice shots! I prefer the first one too, the shape of the wings is more interesting and it's got a better background.

That's stunning .
Look at the detail you have managed to catch - the one feather sticking out slightly from the brown throat, the drops of water still on the feathers and feet . You even managed to get him in mid quack so to speak

Excellent shots. Very difficult to achieve such sharpness.
