Thanks Stan, the Smew was constantly ducking & diving so couldn't get the angle I would have liked ... the Hooded Merganser on the other hand was a poser

Great shots Roger. The problem I've had taking pictures of these is when you crouch down to get a low POV they think you're going to feed them they swim towards you and they end up looking like this.

Well worth a visit Mark & membership makes it very affordable but the tolls are a pain I agree.

Thanks Phil, yes the Smew is a definite 2nd hereThe Hooded Marganser is a cracking shot Roger, lovely detail, colour and the water colour with those swirls is superb

Really like the Hooded Merganser, Roger
Any reason you shot it with the 7200 and 300mm F4? Do you take it along with you as a second set-up?
All the best,
Wez
Thanks Wez, recently we have had a lot of early morning fog so that limits the number of times I get the 500 f4 and D500 out of the backpack ... when I think it's going to be like that, or I just want a change I take the D7200 and 300 PF as well.
That said, it's a very good combination in its own right and I think the D7200 has to be the best value DX camera currently available
