Two Pairs

Very beautiful bird image Keith.

Glad you think so Jaap...............many thanks.

sweet couples

Glad you like them Annemarie.........thank you.

Wish you a peaceful week!

You too Annemarie.

This is one of those very pleasing shots that bring a big smile Keith. Of course I love the swans, they are beautiful, but the pair of ducks make it for me! You couldn't have placed them better than between the rocks :-) The foreground is gorgeous, especially when viewed large.

Have a great new week Keith.

Glad to have raised a smile Rosa.............and that you both the swans and the ducks. Glad you like the rest of the scene as well.

Thank you so much.........and have a good week yourself.

Nice couples, Keith ! Very well seen and captured !

Thanks very much Ulrich............have a good week.

Just tell me which pair got the treats first !!!!

Definitely the swans Isabel............between them and the gulls, the ducks didn't stand a chance :-)))

Super ces deux duO0 et
belle photo bien présentée,
les canards, au fond sont un couple,
les cygnes, je ne pense pas car celui de gauche est encore un jeune cygne
de l'année dernière sont plumage est encore tacheté de gris..
merci Keith pour tes multiples visites et appréciations,
je te souhaite une bonne nouvelle semaine
amicalement/rOl

Thank you for your well thought out and kind comments Roland. Yes, the ducks are a male and female mallards, and probably well established pair. I think the swans were a mother and her cygnet - although the cygnet is nearly all grown up.

Ze zijn verwondert jou te zien Keith
mooie opname

Thanks Fred......appreciated..!!

Wonderful photo with both pairs included, the Mallards and the Mute Swans. Sadly, the Mute Swans have been introduced here and have spread across North America, often displacing the native swans.

Thanks very much for your well thought out comments RHH........glad you like the photo.

It's always sad when any invasive species displaces native ones..........but the animals aren't to blame. Us humans can't resist interfering with nature..!!

sehr gut beobachtet

Thank you very much Leo.......glad you approve.

Les canards gardent la sortie; une police locale probablement.

They are there to remind motorists not to park their car on the road when the tide is coming in. It is quite common to find submerged cars on this road at hight tide..!!

Schöne Vögel, gut beobachtet und präsentiert.
