Cuban Whistling Duck (Slimbridge WWT)

I was sent to the Job Centre, a strange belief, but, I had to go. I had no time at all to do some birdwatcing, so, I pulled out another from my little bag.



Some of you don't like it, but I love it.

Mam nadzieję, ze Twój worek nie ma dna, bo śliczne zdjęcia ptaków w nim są. Pozdrawiam.*** I hope that your bag has no bottom, because the beautiful photos of birds there are. Yours.

such amazing shots of a beautiful duck!

Mary Howell Cromer said...

Very nice looking duck images of your Whistling species...where does the name come from? Awe to be taken away from our birding opportunities...but then otherwise appointments would be taken in the evening, and I would not like that either. Take care Bob!

Noushka said...

Well, your "little bag" has some treasures left!
I like, great photos!
This verification thing.... I thought I had disabled it yesterday, but I forgot to "save" the change!!!
I hope you don't mind, I copied your "capture" to put it on my blog!
I agree, let's boycott it!!
Cheers, Bob
