A Rare Sight: the Ferruginous Pochard

Transient, this pair is having a brake in their migration spending 
some days at the marsh, honouring this well cared for environ-
ment with their rare presence.

The birds are very similar in looks, the drake having the much
brighter iris.

The water movement adds element in the shot. I like the second shot best.

The droplet in the second shot though is incomparable. Good contrast from the water.
