Spot-Billed Duck

[Shyamala Kumar]

I was taking a coracle ride on Vilaspur tank, khanapur forest when I spotted a pair of these ducks at a distance.I was not carrying the right lens required for the occasion and so have compromised with the cropped version.Canon 60D + EF 200MM 2.8L fl200mm iso400 1/250s photographed early morning Aug 2013

Nice sighting. Liked the greenery around. I feel, you could have included some more space all around to show more of the greenery. Reducing the saturation a bit would be nice. Is there a slight tilt? Thanks for sharing.

Wow. Where is this Khanapur Forest?

[Shyamala Kumar]

Thanks Paramvir .Khanapur forest is one of the reserved forests surrounding the old city of Bidar, in the Northeast corner of the state of Karnataka adjoining the state of Andhra Pradesh.It is about 20 km north of Bidar
