Not Just Any Duck

Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) are often taken for granted, but I hadn’t seen one for quite sometime. So when I came across several males and females on the local canal they were a pure delight to see as they paddled across the still waters with autumn reflections.

    Can’t go wrong with Mallards, Peter. Or reflections! The male’s head is so fascinating to watch as they turn into and out of the light as they go about their business.

      Hi Ark,
      Thanks for asking. All okay. Just having a break from things and doing other stuff until spring kicks in.

      Hope all is good with you there, friend?

      Hi there Dwight!. It is good to hear from you 🙂 I am fine thank you … just doing other stuff, which has meant the blog has had to slide. I hope all is well with you on your side of the pond, and that your wonderful creativity in all you do is still blooming beautifully. Pete

        Hi Pete. I am still going strong! I missed seeing you as well. Over the weekend I found a goliath beetle along the curb. It was a first for me. I posted photos yesterday on my site. It was a beautiful specimen! Take care.
