I love the sweet little tilt of the head you've captured so beautifully Keith, which has given you a great title.....I love anything to do with Dickens :-) It looks like you fed her well seeing the PiP, where she is totally relaxed!

Two superb pictures with excellent detail in the feathers of this gorgeous female mallard :-)

Sunday greetings.

Thank you Rosa.........I was in two minds as to which one would be the main image, so I'm chuffed you like my choice. As always your comments are very generous.

it's been a good Sunday, I hope yours has been the same.

Happy Sunday!

Glad you think so Annemarie. Thank you.

So richtig treuherzig ist dieser Blick der Entendame lieber Keith,da hast du ja ein tolles Erlebnis gehabt und ganz tolle Nahaufnahmen gemacht,ist ja richtig schön,wie sie sich vor euch so plaziert hat,sehr fotogen ist sie :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Sonntag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you Güni.............I know you like mallards, so I'm pleased you like these two photos.

I've had a really good day............and I hope you have too.

She looks sweet! :-)

Thank you Stephan.........I certainly thought so too.

Like Rosa I instantly noticed the slightly tilted head- adorable! You caught her so well, she really earned her food;-)

Thanks very much Gudrun...........much appreciated. You're very kind.

:-))) ! That’s a beautiful portrait, Keith !

I'm pleased you think so Ulrich..........thank you so much.

ja inderdaad Keith...zo kijkt hij ook voor een extra portie

Two great images and one great story Keith. After hearing a story from 'experts' saying that feeding bread to ducks etc was very bad for them, I really don't know now to applaud or decry people (and children) giving out bread to ducks and geese. Anyway if it gets you shots like these, I can't blame you for carrying on.

Enjoy the week. Herb

How delightful. You were honoured for her to eat from your hand. Gorgeous photos too.
