Shoveler Fly Past

A flight of female Shoveler Ducks (Anas clypeata) at Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk, England. The ducks were spooked by a Marsh Harrier and took off en masse across the scrape. I took the image from Tower Hide. The higher than usual perspective meant that I was able to capture a mixture of birds and their reflections as their world is temporariliy turned upside down.
