Female Mallard (+PiP)

Female Mallard (+PiP)
Taken at Emsworth Harbour, Hampshire. Mallards are my favourite ducks, and I think the female is much more beautiful than the male. There's a shot of a male mallard (taken earlier this year) in the PiP for comparison.

Please view large if you have the time..............thank you.

Wishing everyone a splendid weekend (especially if you have an extended one)!

Who was duck, to swim around the world, to travel without a passport and cross borders, like who spends time. Looking at this duck I realize that we have complicated our lives. Have a nice and healthy weekend Keith.

I think I prefer the female duck rather than the mallard too - okay she doesn't have the vivid colours like the mallard, but the pattern on her wings and body are much better. I hope you are having a good weekend - lately we seem to have a 3 day weekend all the time!!!!!
