I generally find concentrations of ducks at edges of river ice and I have missed the mergansers, the occasional wood duck and the rafts of mallards. There was a group of over 100 mallards on the Kennebunk when I visited yesterday&#8230;the first large concentration I have seen this winter. Ducks on ice are always photogenic, even in the relatively dull light of a January day. I like the way this group is arranged within the frame&#8230;almost exactly were I would have placed them in a painting. \ud83d\ude42 Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.
