He's beautiful Donald, and I love the setting too.

You're right, they are tricky to get, aren't they. So you've done really well to get this.

An excellent job you've done lad.
 
Looks like it just got out of a beauty salon, or should I say a barber shop. Great job, Donald.

A beautifully exposed image of this Goosander Donald. Nice work guy :t:
 
Great shot Don, I know what you mean, there are six of them on a local pool but I cant yet get near enough for any kind of decent shot. You have done really well.
 
A stunning, detailed, pin sharp image of this handsome Goosander, Donald !!! Thanks for sharing.
 
Very sharp, detailed pic, Donald. Hard to get close to them...well done!
 
As you say Donald not an easy bird to expose for, but a great shot you got, you'll need to come up here, their right in front of you.
