Hi Kelly, thanks for the comment! I think the only thing I can offer is that you have to put yourself in a position where you know your quarry is going to be, and at the right time, so sometimes that may involve knowing something of their habits. From there it's a matter of patience and the right equipment to take advantage of your opportunities. Did I mention patience?!
Hope this helps!
Dave.

Hi Dave, Just a question? You do wildlife so well and I love your bird photos. I was going to go out this weekend with a birdwatcher and take some pics. Any good suggestions or techniques you use. Would love any advice possible. Take care.

Hi Hanggan, thanks for the comments! Only the male mallard has the green head, except in the summer when they molt and have a similar appearance to the females, which are more brown but have the same coloring in the wings. Here's a female:

Good morning Dave,
first of all many thanks for all your kind comments on my pictures (wildlife and nature). Have been away on a short holiday...taking pictures.
Great image of this "Dancing Male". Excellent colors and very fine details. Have taken a portrait of the same bird (wild duck) the other day ( will upload tonight).
Keep well and have a great day.
Best regards,
Gustav

Nice moment and colors, Dave. Very well captured. Is the style only belongs to male ducks? Take care, my friend.

Hi Guido, thanks for the comment! In general the mallard males have the green heads, but during the summer they molt and are very similar to the females.

Look at that old green head, they haven't all left your country. Bet this one stays around all winter if the water is open. Nice action Dave. Don.
