It not very nice today, (the weather), so I'm going to show you something from my sneaky bag. Actually, I am going to give you something that I wouldn't put up on my blog. Basically, it is things that I keep for myself or put in my other sites. It might be from Bristol Zoo, International Centre for the Birds of Prey, etc etc. I went to Bristol Zoo the other day and I found a Raccoon, pacing up and down inside cage 10 x 10 square meters. It was horrible. Anyway, there is a nice place to go, Slimbridge WWT. There is plenty of space for all species. And the water, you can use plenty of their hides to see and photograph as well. The next set of birds are from there. Time I gave myself a break from giving you my sort of trivial.
Thats a BEAUTY BOB..... very nice shots.
ReplyDeleteWow.. a blue bill.. very cool.
ReplyDeleteThe thought of a raccoon pacing in a cage sickens me.
what a cute little bill! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful duck Bob and what a beautiful color. Beauty photos.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Tinie
Absolutely stunning, Bob. Thanks for showing these beauties from your sneaky bag. Love these photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful detail, and a blue bill, beautiful bird. Hope your weather improves soon.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos again Bob! What a pretty and rather unusual looking duck. I haven't been lucky enough to visit Slimbridge for a long time but it is a wonderful place.
ReplyDeleteHow very sad about the Racoon. I didn't think that sort of thing still happened in this country. I couldn't bear to see it, just thinking about it makes me feel awful.
wat een hele byzondere eend.heel mooi.
ReplyDeleteBob, what an odd looking duck! Blue bill and all!
ReplyDeleteNicely captured!
Our weather seems to be improving! Sunny today and forecast the same for a fortnight! I'm not holding my breath!
Bob, he has a marvelous nose! His facial characteristics are especially enhanced by the photos you've taken of 'His magesty, the blue-nosed, white-headed duck!'
ReplyDeleteWow, der sieht dem guten alten Donald Duck sehr ähnlich, klasse...
ReplyDeleteSchönen Abend noch

ReplyDeleteHelloooooo-o? I never saw a duck, or any bird as a matter of fact with a blue beak! That is so special!

ReplyDeleteA blue bill... wooow so nice see that guy
ReplyDeleteThat bill is really unique. Nice shot and looks great! I'm having to go into my bag of tricks as well to finish off the month of July. The weather has been too difficult to work with here and I am trapped most of the time inside of building due to the extreme heat and humidity.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture Bob.
ReplyDeleteDo you keep all your finer pics in this magical bag? :)
ReplyDeleteWow! What a fascinating bill.
How special, Bob, a duck with a blue beak. I've never seen that before. Beautiful pictures again. Greetings, Joke
