Here's a duck from yesterday, I was walking towards two ducks that walked in the sand to the left in this shot, when I got closer I suddenly saw 10-12 ducks sitting in the grass to the right, they flew as soon as I saw them, and I had half a second to try and get one them taking off. My camera tracked beautifully even with single point and Case 1 at 12 fps. I liked the lines with the shadows from the trees crossing the path I walked on and the duck in the green area. Slighty cropped.

Some shorebirds roosting at high tide (when they could, dog walkers seem ever oblivious to the disruption they cause).

Ringed plovers, dunlin, and a very friendly turnstone. All 1000mm, f/10, handheld.
