Been chasing these dam things around for weeks and only today did I manage a very long shot at 840mm, very cropped but at least got a record shot of one at last !

So what they say about tight as a ducks arse,Mind how you sit up!
it certainly looks water tight to me
Nicely captured Roger
I'd say that qualified for a bit more than "Just a record shot"
Lovely capture, love the background too

I reckon you could set the black and white points on these, Gil, to give them some pop as they are rather flat and grey?

Looks similar to a male Gadwall.

Just looked that up @gramps and it does. I haven't seen one of these before - it was hanging around with a female mallard and I just thought it was a youngster - it was really timid too - someone was feeding the birds and it was really really not into the aggressiveness of the rest of them trying to get some food.

Plenty of Gadwall x Mallard hybrids about so no surprise to see both species actively together.

I'm not great with back and white sliders on lightroom. Any suggestions on what I should be doing?

Just a record shot. A red breasted goose among the barnacles at Slimbridge yesterday. I don't think they know if it's an escapee, feral or truly wild.

I think the consensus is that it's an escapee Jan, definitely not thought to be wild though.
