It's not a duck, it's a Loon (Gaviidae). I believe the English species name is "red-throated diver"
It was handheld at f8 and 1/500. 510mm Iso 800. By hand held I mean I was flat on my belly in the mud, using my elbows as support. The trick is pretty much spray and pray, but with good breathing technique. Pretty much the same as when shooting my rifle.
Here is a BIF attempt with the same combo.
