Thanks everyone. Ducks fly so quickly I never usually attempt to photograph them, but I got lucky with this pair. I was standing waiting for some whistling kites to come back to their tree and this pair landed on a dead tree. I managed to snap them as they flew off. The male and female look very different when they are walking around, but in flight their wings look the same
amazing work to get sharp wing detail with the iridescent feathers and I don't know how you got both sexes in exactly the same pose.
Cheers, Owen.
Great shot! Thanks for sharing
Tim
great flight shot very clear....!!
if your happy when your birding, flap your wings.
Brilliant! Looks as though you have perfected your BIF shots, including the exposure control. I wish I had flight shots as good as these.

Amazing photo Birdgirl. I like how you got the male and the female in the same flight position. They look very comical when they land on the ground.
