Ruddy Shelduck: Chambal River, Uttar Paradesh, India, March 2023 — The Ruddy Shelduck breeds mostly in a wide band starting in southeast Europe and stretching across all of Asia at that same latitude. It also breeds in much of India and there are outlying areas in northwest and northeast Africa. It breeds in Spain, and you can see it in summer almost anywhere in Europe. So pretty widespread. These two were in the sony area along the Chambal River and were photographed from our boats on the river. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro and Apple Photos. ISO 100 @ f4 @ 1/500th. +3EV.
