Pintail, Goosander and other birds

Today I was down to Hillsborough Park, for there is a small pond.
And in the winter there is usually Goosander and other lake / sea birds that I otherwise  dont  see very often. I was down there yesterday and looked for birds, but did not have my camera with me and then I saw a bird I had never seen before. It was really nice with long feathers and colors.

The bird is called Pintail and it was that bird I was after today, so I took the bus there in the morning and hoped that it would be there, and lucky me, it was there. I spent a few hours there to shoot it and other birds, there were also some weird hybrid ducks that looked pretty nice too.
By the way, the lens that I dropped in the snow in the last blog post is okej luckily. :))


Camera equipment: D90 and the nikon 200-400 f4 lens.
