  • Lonely Mallard

    Lonely Mallard

    One of the last ducks of the year. They hang out here feeding with the swans. As soon as the swans leave so will the mallards. I just bought a new lens yesterday. A Tamron 150-600. Unfortunately I only get to use it one day before I have to send my camera back to nikon for a small repair and cleaning. That means that there will be limited photos from me because I will only have my 5100.
