This duck is somewhat rear to see in the North of Norway. Many others were on top of the riverbank taking photos down towards the duck. While I had spotted a place they stood to clean their feathers. It was on this rock were the light shine through the branches. All I had to do was wait. And wait I did... After the photo was well stores on the memorycard I realised that the river had grown to be a tiny bit further up. Half of me was into the water. But in the end it was worth it. Made for a nice drive home.. =)

Thank you very much! I was limited by a 200mm focal length, so I had no other choice then to plan ahead after scouting and watching theyr behavior, and then just wait =)
See all
