The Flying Mallards

Hilda Ogden would love this one!  For those of you who haven't heard of Hilda - she was a character from the soap opera 'Coronation Street'.  She joined the cast before I was born and remained a regular until 1987.  Her sitting room featured 4 ceramic flying ducks on the wall - it is worth googling!

This photo was taken in Lough Boora and unlike Hilda's there are three drakes and one female.  Because I was aiming to shoot flying birds I had set the shutter at 1/4000 sec. with an open aperature of f8 (caused by having the 1.4 extender on the 100-400mm EF lens) and auto ISO was 800.
