Did you find this and immediately know it was from a female mallard? Or did you have to think about it for a bit? As much as I love birds, I would have had to think and perhaps consult a few bird books. And then, I would have asked you!
Hello, Scriptor I did not know a wild duck has such beautiful purple feather!! I love taking photos of birds but I am not so good at. Maybe I am not so patient. I’m sure you took a lot of time to catch the moment. I feel as if I were watching her just in front of me. Best wishes, keiko
Hello - thanks for dropping by to leave a comment. Your comments are much appreciated even if I don't always reply. They will appear as soon as they have been moderated.
I am using Instagram and Facebook a lot more nowadays and sometimes they are replacing my posts on the blog. If you want to follow me on Instagram my address is @cjohnedwards. On Facebook I can be found at Clive John Edwards but you will need to send me a request to follow me as it is not open to the public.
The fourth shot is stunning.A very different angle. May I use the picture to draw? Cheers- Ruby

ReplyDeleteRuby - yes, of course, you'd be most welcome to use it.
ReplyDeleteKay - we had to think for a while but when we realised what it was we kicked ourselves. It seemed so obvious once we'd identified it.
Another lovely post. Oh how we all missed you last month when you weren't feeling well! :0)
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself,
Hugs xox
Good to see your name on post. Thanks for comments. I had actually been wondering how you were as on my last visit you were not so well.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better than you were.
The Mallard is so colourful close up like that.
Thanks Scriptor..:) I'll post it once I've finished it
