    Goldeneye

    Hi all

    My first post here in the forum.
    I love wildlife photography (mainly I do insects macro) and want to share some of my shots. Yesterday was a wonderful sunny day and I went out with my camera.
    This female Borrow's Goldeneye was fairly cooperative.

    Welcome to the forum 2001, nice shots. I like the second one best.

    Nice to see open water too, it's all frozen solid around here.

    Thanks Scott.
    It warmed up here and the ice on the lakes is melting again. The duck pictures were taken at the channel, which doesn't freeze easily.

    Thanks Rob. Yes, @300mm, it's a good lens, I just have to get a bit closer to the birds.
