These are pretty shy ducks and seldom give a good approach. They prefer to stay in flocks and once a single tends to fly, the rest follow suit. 

Thanks for the stop.

Shot with Nikon D500 + Nikkor 300 mm f/4 ( Non VR ) + 1.4X TC

1 / 6400s

f / 5.6

With all of the action in the frame the foreground duck stands out very nicely, in fact nicer than I would have imagined. I agree with KK, this is a terrific action shot which was very well done!

Thank you so much for such inspiration and motivating words. I had taken this image in 2017 at the Gajoldoba Wetlands in the diatristrictict of Jalpaiguri, state West Bengal, India.
