Of the 500 f4 VR of course!
This is the last remaining Tufted Duckling from this particular brood ... Monday there were four but mum kept taking them perilously close to a pair of Lesser Black-backed Gulls and I suspect the rest were lunch

I just caught a family of seven that appeared at the
marsh but only could get them from behind!

Thanks John, yes it's a shame ... but I guess if they all lived we would be overrun

Yes,that's true. I wondered how many survive ? This is interesting. Accounts for the aggression too. https://www.moorhen.me.uk/moorhen1.htm

@gramps .... I glanced at this as it popped up as a thumbnail on the main page and thought it was an orangutan in water. I am on my mobile though, so the small screen didn't help. Anyway, really nice image, love the detail of the fluffy feathers and the angle too. Really nice.

Thanks Moey ... I would swap photographing Duckling for Orangutans any day!
