Nearly to thick to swim

These ducks were swimming around the Dawkins Lake, Macksville, NSW, at times it looked a bit hard for them to get around, as the weeds & algae were so thick. Lens aperture f/9, shutter speed 1/1250sec, focal length 130mm, ISO 800.

Wow! Hard to believe that really are swimming around in all of that! I bet they like it however. Do they eat that stuff? I'd be afraid to be a little baby duck in there DUNKING DOWN for something and not being able to see to get back up to the surface!

What a cool image, Chris!!!

  What a great image. I like the coot behind those ducks, looks like he is sneaking up on them :)

  I find this green stuff fascinating. When the ducks swim through it the trail behind them disappears and you would never know they had been there. Makes for a fantastic looking capture too. Great shot Chris.

  In Danish it's called "andemad" = duck food but I don't really know either if they actually eat it.
But this is a lovely image, Chris.

  A wonderfully composed and interesting capture, Chris! Every time I drive through Macksville, I have to stop and visit this lake!

  Terrific capture, Chris!
I thought it was a dog behind the ducks :-)

  No, just another duck. It was fun watching this lot making their way around & we would have liked to stay longer but it was when Tony was starting to get sick, though we didn't know it at the time, thankfully. Pleased you liked it=^..^=
