A 'nearly ran' for this week's Sunday Challenge , for which we were asked to photograph a bird or birds . After struggling to get close enough to a group of village ducks on the river at Great Ayton, or to get many decent shots, this particular duck's actions summed up how I was starting to feel. I'm also not entirely convinced that it was just diving for food. I tell you, being mooned by a duck isn't all it's quacked up to be!

This lovely Pininfarina designed mid-engined sports car was produced by Lancia in Italy from 1975 to 1981. This is actually one of two shots I'm uploading of this car so please have a look at them both and see what's troubling me about it because believe me there's something not quite right. Oh, and while you're at it you might be able to tell me if these models should be described as Monte Carlo or Montecarlo. Wikipedia says the latter, but I'm not totally convinced as the badge has it hyphenated.
