Taken last November was this female Shoveler at a nature reserve here in Hong Kong. Apparently there are more female than male for this species. Have been trying to capture a male Shoveler up close without luck so far ... :roll:

Nicely handled hen. A little tight on her tail though.

Great shot KK, you picked up all the detail. The colour of the water is very complimentary.

Very nice, KK. I like the sharpness of the eye and bill. I guess Shovelers must be the same everywhere because I can't get close to them here either.

A beautiful female shoveler. They, as most ducks here, are hard to get close to and the females do seem more prevalent. Nice job with this one.
