Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula)

There seem to be loads of these around this year with around a dozen present here yesterday. Taken with the 400mm lens plus 1.5x teleconverter. Normally I find with the converter added the focus is too slow for flight photos but there was no chance to take it off when this Goldeneye came into land. Luckily it circled a couple of times giving a bit more time to get on it.
