DUCK!! or GULL!!! whatever..

Went to the park today and just sat there on a bench. Was pretty cold, but i still managed to sit there for about 1.5 hours.
There wasnt alot of light, so not alot of pics worked out. But here are the ones that did:
#1

#2

#3 This duck was fighting 3 gulls for his bread...here he even stands on one of their heads...go duck

#4

#5 Not a great pic, but i liked the reflection

#6

#7

#8

#9 This one is made at home, from the house, behind glass...nice and warm


Thanks for looking

Dude..you got some sweet shots here. Love the "swarming" of the duck. Excellent work as always Daan

 

this thread is lacking in the Heron department!

#5 sure does rock

 

o0o0o0h its amazing
very nice

 

#3 followed by #4... why?

#3 shows the duck taking names (something I've never seen)

#4 placing it after shot #3 gives it more attitude - like the Duck is working out to take on 4 gulls next time... ha-ha!

great shots all around though!

 

Thanks for the replies everyone
And Jermz......what?

 

sorry, sometimes my mind goes faster than my typing fingers allow.

I like #3 because the Duck is kicking butt (aka fighting multiple seagulls)

If you look at #4 right after you view #3... the duck is flapping his wings quite violently... aka, like he is working out... getting stronger... stronger so he could fight 4 seagulls instead of 3...

my attempt at bad humor sort of gets lost in the forum translation...

the point... I like the shots ;-)

 

A very nice series. #3 is a great capture! 3 on 1 and the duck is still on top (literally lol) #5 is really good too. It is not too often that you get a reflection like that. Very nicely done !

 

9 is the best in my opinion. It's much more unique.

 

Thanks for the comments everyone, really appreciate it
And it all makes a lot more sense now Jermz, thanks

 

Cool shots, nice in flight work.

#5 is my personal favorite, the reflection is hilarious!
