Red-Billed Teal Ducks in Flight - Intaka Island, Cape Town

Spent some real quality time (in exquisite light), during a Canon Camera Practical Photography  Training Session, at Century City's Intaka Island, Cape Town, with special people at one of the Intaka Island bird hides.

It was my first time back at Intaka Island since my friend Joseph Inns passed away in 2021 - and I could not have asked for better company (and compassion) for overcoming this challenge this afternoon.
