Description
When: March 31, 2019
Where: Natura ARTIS Magistra Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Young waterfowl don't make it easy on you, scurrying for food in the grass. Especially Goslings do this a lot - we've seen more than just this kind do it.
But with their heads down, and them so small, photographing becomes a challenge for sure!
Had to get real low, and look pretty ridiculous while at it - they were in the Red Ruffed Lemur enclosure, but instead of paying attention to those gentle boys (who leave the Goslings be, luckily) I was crouched so low, almost all the way bending over to get these Goslings on camera.
I don't regret it, and this time, M didn't take a photo of me to commemmorate it
Species: Eyptian Goose (Nijlgans)
Latin name: Alopochen Aegyptiaca
Originates from Africa south of the Sahara and the Nile Valley.
Current status: Least Concern

If you want the shot bad enough, you do what you have to do.
Great job!

Haha, all too often - you just have to be comfortable when you're crouching below a beam and get back up again

Thanks
Yes, I love that about them too! The sun was a bit harsh, but at the same time, it was perfect for these babies
