Hard to get a run wing flap brief fly across a lake from a Female blue billed duck but this is some of one of two sequences that I could get today. Very surprising and hard to plan for to get the best shots but this is one of the sequences I got. Over the 40-50 metres of the sequence the blue bill gained virtually no height. It likely needs a lot more wing speed to get the elevation it needs and more distance to achieve liftoff. Quite an ungainly flop and finish to the sequence as it moved across the lake. It only took a few seconds.
