Lonely pair

Busy times created a serious backlog in photo selection and editing. Anyhow, in the beginning of this month I was able to make a beautiful Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula/Brilduiker) series. This ♂ and ♀ were the only inhabitants of a small forest fen without a name south of the “Strabrechtsche Heide”. I especially like the gloomy dark greenish water and the extreme low point of view; my telephoto lens was only a few centimeters above water level.
