Roy Mangersnes - Diamond of the north
Many of the wintering ducks of northern Norway are stunningly beautiful, like the King Eider, Stellers’ Eider and even the Common Eider. Still I believe my favorite is the Long-tailed Duck. In Norway it is probably the more widespread of the mentioned ducks, but still I find it stunning. The black and white plumage is almost sparkling like a diamond when the bird is sliding across a nice reflective surface on the icy cold waters of Finnmark.

I've already said it, but I will say it once again; The best photograph ever on Clangula (one of my favourite ducks)!
Great, great image! Congratulations for it!

This is actually a different image David, but the same light and reflection. Happy to hear you like it :-)
