Keith Burton / Photos

Please, Sir.........Can I have some more?"

Taken at the duck pond in Buriton, near Petersfield in Hampshire. We were sitting on a bench feeding the ducks and this female mallard obviously thought we weren't doing it fast enough :-))

She was happy to take duck food straight from my hand!

Check out the PiP for a shot of her settling down to rest after a rather large lunch.

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

Thank you Herb............I'm pleased you like the photos and the story behind them.

Just to put your mind at rest..........we never feed bread to the ducks........we buy proper duck and swan food which are especially formulated floating pellets for them.
