Pretty birds... we don't have them here. Important for such shots is having a lot of light, best full sunshine. Then you can use fast shutter times and closed apperture, without noise problems. Like this one I made some time ago:

Nice one! I haven't seen any ducks close by, but not much water. I do see geese in the fields quite a bit.
We are fortunate to have a river here (2 actually) and so a number of water birds, like the mallards, swans, moorhens and gulls (in winter). Geese are rare around here, but they live in other regions in Germany. Those birds are great photo motives, especially in spring when they have their young. But beware of the swans at that time, they are rather humorless if someone shows interest in their young ones... :)
