Bird of the week

There are a number of fields near where we live that are so waterlogged that they are a favourite place for ducks like these today.
Two drakes and a hen mallard duck

Although you can quite clearly see the female on the ground I didn't realise she was there until I saved the photos to my computer.

 Just out of shot were two more drakes. Pictures taken from 30 yards away.

    Nice captures Bob, they look like they're enjoying their surroundings!

    Hi BOb - they've got glorious colours haven't they ... yes the fields were still saturated when I went up the M40 to Stratford at the weekend ... it's when we get swans in the middle of the fields I laugh ... so incongruous ...

    Cheers Hilary
