I am beginning to have a better understanding of the duck behaviour. Being able to know when the duck is going to flap his wings is a great help in capturing a otherwise still passive duck.

Great shot Arthur,
Care to share with us your insights into "Duck Behaviour" ?

hi Philip,
Kinda of hard to put in words. Next time when you are watch a flock of ducks, watch for anyone of them to move their tail sideways (a bit of movement). That's the signal before they flap their wings.
If you are feeding them, if they are too close to each other, they tend to fight. Usually, it is the same one or two dominant ones that chase the others off. Follow the leader and soon you may be able to capture some action shots.
regards,
Arthur

Great capture! I was out with the ducks the other day, I ended up stamping on the ground and yelling things to make them move, but no avail (I'm a big brute) - must have looked strange to everyone else
