Displaying ducks make exciting subjects for bird photography. In this video I photograph Goosanders and share the whole spectrum of duck displaying behaviour in later winter to early spring. I also show you my photo tips & techniques to help you capture the action. Duck and waterfowl photography can be really accessible - even the local park will offer great opportunities for photos!

ABOUT ME

I'm Paul Miguel - a professional Wildlife Photographer based in Leeds in Yorkshire, England, UK. I'm happy whether I'm photographing Blue Tits in the garden or I'm chest deep in waders in a Slovenian lake. I Love Wildlife Photography!

I've been published in numerous photo magazines, made years of YouTube Videos and helped hundreds of people improve their wildlife photography skills on my small group and 1:1 workshops. I've also provided courses for major organisations in the UK including RSPB, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Woodland Trust. I love to travel, both for my own projects and on my Photo Tours I run in Europe.
