Very nice capture of this handsome duck Yves. First encounters like this are always special and you got a great shot of him too.

Thank you so much Heather.

Awesome Yves, I am glad you had that special and exciting moment. It is a very nice looking duck. The osprey arrived back the other day I was out trying to get a few pictures of them today.

Yves Langlois

Thank you so much Debra. It will be nice to see your photos of the osprey family.

Thanks Clifford. Few excitements in the season keeps the photographer happy.

Description
Proud to present that shot. Conditions of shooting were not perfect but it is the excitement of the first encounter with that kind of duck. The pair landed on the very far side of the marsh. The way they fly and the pale colours suggest a first encounter kind of duck. I was excited. By the time I got ready to shoot they were moving away from one another and already too far to have both on a shot.
