A pair of excellent flight shots. I do wish the darn cormorant had angled itself toward you rather than away, but that’s just what they always seem to do. The mallard is great with a wonderful angle.

Hi Dennis
That the problem with trying to track fast moving birds on water, just when you get then asset up they flown pass you. Thanks for the comment.

Nice images Peter - especially like the incoming look of the mallard. Nice exposure on both birds. Yes, tough to get in front of a flying bird and angled just right. They just don’t follow instructions well.
