Pochard
Pochard numbers were some of the highest I have ever seen at Martinmere. Flight opportunities habe always seemed scarce so when they took to the air I was thrilled. They are strong, direct fliers that form good formations.

The light was so good that I thought even mallards deserved alittle attention.
 
Several Goldeneye however evaded me. By the time I saw them they were coming on strong and climbing too high to get a decent angle. So this is one close up I am still striving for.
