Mallards.
Mute Swan.
Love how you captured what looks like a bit of a flare as they are about to land. Interesting how pilots do this as well right before touchdown for a smoother landing. Never seen it before in a photo of a bird landing. Very nicely done!

Thank you Irene, especially for pointing out the similarity between human pilots and birds when they land!

Stunning shots, and great timing, Hien. The first shot really is incredible. It’s like you captured the mallards in a race to get to the water first. Hope all is well with you and it’s not too cold in your part of the world 🙂

Thank you Mabel! I was not sure the first shot was any good until I saw it at home on my computer.

Photos always look different on the computer. I find if I take a photo on my phone, it might look good on the phone but look completely different on a computer 😀

It’s not that I haven’t said it before Hien but your ‘bid in action’ photos are stunning.

For that one the speed was 1/3200 sec as I had the camera on aperture priority. Glad you like the shot, Mohammad!

Ha, ha … I was in my car in two different spots. The swans were stately, and the Mallards just popped out of the blue sky!

That purple is only seen when they are flying.
