A Goosander is a photographic by Zoological Photographic Club, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photo shows a goosander—a duck-like bird—perched on rough, rocky ground. The bird’s head is dark, and its body blends into the muted tones of the rocks and sky. The scene looks quiet, with no other animals or people around. The photo was taken by a group called the Zoological Photographic Club, which focused on animals in their natural settings. The lighting is soft, making the textures of the rocks and feathers stand out. If you like this kind of nature photography, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
