    Keep trying for birds in flight. The mallards are the fastest flying ducks. I like the pintails.

    I've only once seen a Pintail in the wild. Sadly it was only visible through a pair of binoculars. You've managed to catch both the Mallard and the Pintail brilliantly in flight. It's something I really need to work on as I usually only manage to get a tail or a blur. :oops:

    Great pictures! I'm sure it's not easy to get wildlife in action such as these birds.
