crash landing

pretty duck pictures

l have this group ( flock, herd, gaggle ? ) of ducks that live on the fish pond
they have become acustomed to me turning up firing up the excavator and disturbing the ground and turning up the grubs at which point they are in the there under the digger bucket grabbing what they can,

these little fella's are so tame they land on the back of my transit pickup as l drive across the field and tap on the back window of the cab

l have often thought of making a harness for one of them to carry a small camera so l could see where they fly to during the day when l am not there but sods law says that will be the day the ****** decides to migrate to a warmer climate taking my camera with him

thanks chaps but its so easy with digital camera's these days, l am sure once upon a time you needed to know what you were doing but now l just point and click and delete the ones that dident work
l just happened to have the camera in the pickup when they all came flying towards me, point the camera and press the button, camera sorts the rest out,
l would think on a sunny day with a bit of planning you could get a really good shot, l have a couple of kingfishers that treat my fish pond as a tesco's self serve l will try and get some pics of them, part of my reason for wanting an underground bunker alongside the pond was to use it as a hide for photography


trying to upload some more photos but it keeps telling me l dont have the sercurity permissions or something ??

 

[Baloo]

thank goodness for good old reliable photobucket
