GOOSANDER stretching, Brooks Falls, Alaska.

We found the birdlife at Brooks Falls extremely tame.  Normally, back home in Scotland these birds would move away if you approached closer than 50 yards.  However, at Brooks Falls they allowed a close approach to within 10 yards, which meant the straight 500mm was quite sufficient.
