Had a chance yesterday to take some photos unfortunately the weather got bad so I only got about half an hour but I did manage to get some pictures of mallard ducks in flight, I love pictures of birds flying but they are difficult to take, and I need a bit of practice again as I had my camera settings wrong .
This photo was taken over a lake in Naas Co. Kildare, Its a nice spot, a park with a lake running through it and it has plenty of ducks and swans, and even a few swans on nests at the moment, so maybe shortly I will get some pictures of baby swans.
The ducks unlike the swans were flying all over the place so I got a few opportunities to try and catch them in flight.
Here is another picture from the lake in Naas Co. Kildare. I like this one and hopefully I will take more like it in the coming months only better. The mallard ducks look lovely and graceful in flight, and they do make an interesting picture when you catch a group of them together flying.

These mallard ducks were photographed in Emo Court Co. Laois. To get this shot I had to lay down on the ground. And the reason for that was you're not going to get a interesting photo if you are standing up and pointing a camera at them. By lying down not only are you getting a full body shot but a interesting background to frame them against. I try whenever possible to get down low for any picture where the subject I am photographing is smaller than me.
