Mallards

Unusual for me to pick two photos to feature but I couldn't choose between them.  There is a little irony perhaps in the behaviour and what could be considered a contrast to the human personality!  The female sitting quietly, discreetly in the grass.  The male yakking away.  Perhaps she was trying to avoid his noise!  

 Both photos were taken with the 100-400 lens plus the 1.4 extender fully extended to 560mm, with a shutter of 1/1000 and an open aperture of f8.  The female shot has an ISO of 1000 while the male shot has an ISO of 1250.
