Incoming Yellowbill Duck

[Stu Bowie]

Due to the light angle, it has created two different colours on each underwing. I feel the approaching posture and background make this image worth keeping. Taken at Austin Roberts in Pretoria on an early winter morning.

Very nice shot. I only wish the landing gear had been fully deployed.

Stuart nice landing pose with all flaps down. Good detail in the feathers and head which shows up the bill of this species perfectly. Love the background.
