This drake mallard is in rapid descent as can be seen by his sharply cupped wings. The feet are deployed as air brakes.The duck is beginning to slow its airspeed yet it is still so fast that it is hard to track when using a long lens with minimal field of view. A duck passing to the side, like this one, requires swinging the camera rapidly to keep up with the bird as well as trying to keep the focus locked on.
