Common Goldeneye taking to the air

This is a merge of six shots. The goldeneye on the far left stayed in the water. The other one is the one that took off.

There is unfortunately a gap in the series. You'll notice that frame 4 is missing. What happened here is a habit I have took over and caused me to put a space in the series. I use one time auto focus. That means that when you push the shutter release down half way, the camera focuses and maintains that same focus until you take your finger off the button. I have a habit of lifting my finger every so often to force a re-focus when I'm tracking a moving target. That works better for me than using manual focus when tracking. However, in this case it inserted a space in the series. Best if viewed at original size.
