These pochards prefer to remain in flocks. Photographing them is always fun. They will allow considerable approach and will provide all types of action packed shots. 

Thanks for the stop.

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

1 / 2000s

f / 8.0 

ISO 800 

At focal length 420 mm

Great take off shot. Really like the trailing water and wing position.

A beautifully composed image, Biru. The splashing water balances the frame very nicely. Great action image!

Very, very nice take off shot. I love the water droplets behind the bird.

The water trail is wonderful. You can see the energy needed to make lift off here.

Love the take off shot. I like that he is running out of the frame and leaving a trail. It's fun to break the "rules".
Nice work.

Beautiful take-off shot, like the water trails behind.
