This is a male eclipse Mallard. I caught it flapping wings, and tried to get a complete sequence of of its action. Somehow the angle was not perfect, I could only use 3 shots in stacking. I duplicated 2 of the 3 shots and applied radial blurr and perpective warp to make this sequence complete. Heard that an 1D full frame model of a famous brand DSLR can fire 14 frames in one second. That maybe Photo birder’s dream machine.
It is interesting to learn that Mallard is the ancestor of all domestic duck breeds, except Muscovy Duck. They are monogamous, but males like to have extra-marital affair (just like humans).

We were on way back to our residence in the middle of the desert between the border of Dubai and Sharjah, just before crossing the border on the dunes we had seen few whit objects moving. As i was returning from a birding trip in Dubai, Luckily I had my gear with me and as soon as we were close enough via the main road, off I went in pursuit of the Arabian oryx, photographed across the fence of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. This was the first frame of the Oryx family 🙂
