Keith Burton / Photos

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.

Maybe we should all be more like ducks Anton! Thank you for your quacking comments and have a good weekend yourself.

The males always seem a bit narcissistic;-) Both photos are beautifully done with the reflections!

The water in both pictures is beautifully captured Keith. The males are beautiful, and that iridescent-green head and bright yellow bill is quite stunning, but I have to agree with you, the female has an understated beauty. Love both of these shots!!

Enjoy the rest of the BH :)

Ich mag diese Enten auch immer lieber Keith,ich finde sie paarmäßig aber immer sehr hübsch,auch diese Wellen im Wasser machen sich gut in deinen Nahaufnahmen :))

Wünsche noch ein schönes Pfingstwochenende,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))
